  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 23 chipotle peppers (canned in adobo sauce)
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from the canned peppers)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

  2. Blend to Smoothness: Using an immersion blender on low speed, pulse the mixture a few times until smooth or reaches your desired consistency. Ensure the blender is fully submerged before turning it on to avoid splattering.

  • For a thinner consistency, add a little water or more lime juice.
  • This mayo keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Great as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or burger condiment.
