Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups high quality mayonnaise
- 3-6 chipotle peppers from a can
- 2-3 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can
- 1/4 cup cilantro packed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt use 1/4 tsp for table salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth!
- Start with 3 small chipotle peppers and move up from there. If you are nervous about it being too spicy, start with 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce, or omit entirely. (But I really love the flavor the adobo adds!)
- Add more lime juice if you want more zing.
- Thin it out with a little bit of water or milk if you want a drizzling consistency. Start by adding a tablespoon at a time and be careful of adding too much, you don't want to mute the flavors.
- Store leftovers in handy squeeze bottles so you're always ready for any chipotle mayo situation!!

Notes
- If you need your chipotle mayo to be a thinner consistency (the better to top tacos with) then you can thin out the sauce with a little milk, or even water. Don't go too crazy or you will impact the flavor. Start small.
