Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Measuring Cups
  • Citrus juicer
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Gather all your ingredients to make your cooking process smoother and more organized.
  • Take the 2 chipotle peppers from the adobo sauce. Remove the seeds for a milder sauce or keep them in for more heat.
  • In your blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice or salt if needed.
  • Transfer the sauce to a bowl or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Freeze for up to three months in a freezer-safe container.
  • Stir well if the sauce separates after freezing; it's best served cold!
