This creamy chipotle burrito sauce is a smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet condiment that adds a delightful kick to your burritos, tacos, quesadillas, or bowls.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add 1 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
  3. Chill: Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, intensifying the smoky and tangy notes.
  4. Serve: Use the creamy chipotle burrito sauce as a delicious topping or dip for burritos, tacos, quesadillas, or bowls to add a flavorful, spicy creaminess.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • You can adjust the number of chipotle peppers based on your spice preference.
  • The sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you don’t have a blender, you can finely mince the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Honey can be swapped with maple syrup for a vegan option if using vegan mayonnaise or yogurt.
