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.
