Description

Elevate your everyday meals with this vibrant Chipotle Mayonnaise, a creamy blend that balances rich tanginess with a gentle smoky heat. By combining silky mayonnaise and cool sour cream, you create a luxurious base that is then infused with the deep, complex flavor of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. This sauce is incredibly versatile, acting as a perfect condiment for burgers, tacos, grilled chicken, or simply as a dip for crispy french fries and vegetable sticks. The optional dried oregano adds a subtle earthy note that complements the chili perfectly. It comes together in minutes but tastes like it has been simmering for hours. Store it in the fridge for up to a week, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen with each passing day. It is the ultimate shortcut for adding gourmet flair to simple dishes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the chipotle chiles from their can and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Finely mince the chipotle chiles, including any seeds if you prefer extra heat.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream.
  4. Add the minced chipotle chiles and dried oregano to the bowl.
  5. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth and evenly colored.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a jar or container and cover tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
