Ingredients

Chipotle Sauce with Garlic and Sour Cream Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and salt to have everything ready for blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt into a food processor or blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, drizzle olive oil in slowly while blending to loosen the texture to your preferred thickness.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or chipotle peppers for heat and flavor.
  5. Serve or Store: Transfer the chipotle sauce to a serving bowl and use immediately as a dip or condiment, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can vary in heat, so adjust the number used to suit your spice preference.
  • Olive oil is optional and can help thin out the sauce if you prefer a runnier consistency.
  • This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, roasted vegetables, and sandwiches.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives.
