Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp adobo sauce for extra heat
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp fresh garlic, grated
  • 0.5 tsp honey optional, for balance
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.125 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tsp water as needed to thin
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chop the chipotle chiles and grate the garlic.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, chopped chipotles, adobo sauce, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Whisk in the honey.
  • Stir in water a little at a time until the sauce is spoonable.
  • Cover and chill for 20 minutes so the flavors meld. Stir and fold in cilantro before serving.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier spread. For a vegan version, use vegan mayo and skip the honey. Serving tip: Drizzle over shrimp tacos or use as a dip for sweet potato fries. Storage: Refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 1 week.
