No reviews

A creamy, smoky, and spicy mayo spread flavored with chipotle peppers in adobo, balanced by sour cream, lime, and savory spices—perfect as a dip or sandwich spread with bold Southwestern flair. Inspired by Tastes of Homemade’s version.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes (+1 hour resting)
  • Yield: about ½ cup (makes ~6 servings)

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to heat preference)

1 Tbsp adobo sauce from the pepper can

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

½ tsp granulated garlic (or 1 small clove minced)

½ tsp smoked paprika

Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped chipotle(s), adobo sauce, lime juice, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, and salt.

Use an immersion blender (or food processor or blender) to puree the mixture until smooth and creamy. Ensure blender is fully submerged before starting to avoid splatter.

Taste and adjust heat by adding more chipotle or adobo sauce if desired; add extra lime or salt as needed.

Let the chipotle mayo rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
