Ingredients
2 chipotle peppers in adobo
0.5 cup sour cream
0.5 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon honey
0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust: more lime for brightness, more chipotle for heat.
4. Transfer to a jar or container.
5. Chill for 20-30 minutes for best flavor.
6. Serve or store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Notes
Start with one chipotle pepper if you’re sensitive to heat, then add more to taste.
For a lighter version, swap sour cream for plain Greek yogurt.
The sauce thickens as it chills, so give it a stir before each use.
