Equipment

Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients

¾ cup sour cream regular or fat-free
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise regular or fat-free
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 Tablespoons adobo sauce
1 lime zested and juiced
1 clove garlic peeled
¼ teaspoon cumin optional
Salt to taste

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Storing

Store the dipping sauce in an airtight container or jar in the fridge. It should stay fresh and flavorful for up to 5 days.

Customize it

If you can’t find chipotle peppers in adobo, replace them with chipotle powder or smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne instead.
To make this a dairy free dipping sauce, use store-bought vegan mayonnaise and sour cream or plain coconut yogurt instead.
If the sauce isn’t as bright or acidic as you’d like, add another 1 to 2 teaspoons of lime juice and/or zest.
For less heat, make the sauce with only 1 ½ or 1 chipotle pepper and/or 1 to 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce.
