Chipotle Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and prepare to blend them.
  2. Add to food processor: Place the chipotle peppers, sour cream, low-fat mayonnaise, garlic clove, lime juice, and salt into your food processor bowl.
  3. Blend the mixture: Blend the ingredients together, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This ensures the sauce achieves a smooth and consistent texture. Continue blending until fully incorporated.
  4. Transfer the sauce: Pour the blended chipotle sauce into a jar or airtight container for storage.
  5. Refrigerate and meld flavors: Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes or up to overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  6. Serve cold: Use the sauce cold as a dip, spread, or drizzle to enhance your meals.

Notes

  • For a spicier sauce, add an extra chipotle pepper or a little of the adobo sauce.
  • You can substitute regular mayonnaise for low-fat if preferred.
  • Store the sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a small amount of milk or water to adjust consistency.
