Notes
- The quality of your mayonnaise makes a significant difference in this recipe. I recommend using a high-quality, full-fat mayo like Hellmann's or Duke's for the richest result. When it comes to the chipotles in adobo, brands do vary in heat level and smokiness. La Costeña tends to be moderately spicy, while San Marcos often runs hotter. Start with less than you think you need, especially if you're heat-sensitive. You can always add more, but you can't take it away once it's mixed in. For the ultimate burger experience, try spreading this sauce on both the top and bottom buns before adding your other toppings.
