Chipotle Mayo Recipe
Description
The Chipotle Mayo Recipe combines mayonnaise with chipotle peppers and their adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin for a smoky and tangy condiment. Ingredients are blended until smooth, creating a thick sauce with layers of flavor. The chipotle peppers provide smokiness and heat, while lime juice adds brightness and cilantro brings fresh herbaceous notes.
This sauce is creamy in texture and balances richness with a moderate spicy kick from the chipotles. It can be thinned with small amounts of milk or water for a drizzle consistency, which works well for topping tacos or salads. The recipe allows adjusting spice heat and acidity according to taste.
Chipotle mayo works well spread on sandwiches, as a dip for fries or vegetables, or as a sauce to elevate grilled or roasted dishes.
Notes advise thinning the mayo gradually with milk or water if desired for a lighter consistency, with caution to preserve flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups mayonnaise high quality
- 3-6 chipotle pepper from a can
- 2-3 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can
- 1/4 cup cilantro packed
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- 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
- To thin chipotle mayo for drizzling, add milk or water gradually, tasting to avoid diluting flavor.
- Adjust chipotle peppers and adobo sauce quantities to control spice level as preferred.
