Chipotle Sauce Ingredients

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (use more if desired for extra heat)
½ cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ lime, juiced
2 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Place the chipotle peppers, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, onion powder, and kosher salt in a wide-mouth mason jar or a small food processor/blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender directly in the jar or blend in the food processor until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust the salt or add more chipotle peppers if a spicier sauce is desired.
Store Properly: Transfer the creamy chipotle sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 10 days, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully over time.

Notes

Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers according to your preferred spice level.
If you don’t have an immersion blender, a small food processor or regular blender works perfectly.
The sauce’s flavor improves after resting in the fridge for a few hours, so consider making it ahead of time.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent odors from the fridge from affecting the sauce.
