Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Finely chop the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Add them to the bowl, along with 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce for extra flavor and spiciness.

Step 3

Add the lime juice, garlic powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika, sugar, and salt to the mixture.

Step 4

Whisk all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, creamy sauce. Make sure the spices and chipotle peppers are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice for tanginess, more adobo sauce for smokiness, or a pinch more salt to taste.

Step 6

If using cilantro, finely chop the leaves and stir them gently into the sauce or use them as a garnish on top.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or an airtight container. It can be used immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days to allow flavors to meld even further.

Step 8

Serve the sauce drizzled over burritos, tacos, or as a dip for chips. Enjoy!
