Calories: 120kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce canned
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the same can)
- 1½ tablespoons lime juice (about one lime)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Serve right away drizzling over fish tacos, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
Notes
- Swap light mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- Use 1 chipotle pepper or just adobo sauce to reduce the heat; blend on a coarse setting for a rustic style.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; stir before serving.
- Not freezer-friendly—mayonnaise will separate and affect the texture after thawing.
