Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or sour cream for tangier flavor)
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (more for extra heat)

- 3 garlic cloves, roasted or finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic – Roast garlic cloves in a dry skillet until fragrant and soft, then peel. (If you prefer a sharper bite, simply mince raw garlic.)
- Blend – Add mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.
- Taste & adjust – Add more chipotle for spice, more lime juice for brightness, or a pinch of sugar for balance.
