Chipotle Mayo is the perfect dipping sauce for fries, tacos or a variety of other foods. Smokey and a little heat from the chipotles, this creamy sauce is excellent!
Chipotle Mayo is a very popular dipping sauce. Restaurants are using it on sandwiches, serving it with tacos, and just as a dipping sauce for French Fries.
How to Make Chipotle Mayo:
Chipotle Mayo is really easy to make. Place all your ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until everything is mixed and smooth. Serve with fries or whatever else you want to use it on!
Ingredient Notes:
- Mayonnaise
- Sour Cream
- Chipotle Chilis from Can: These add the heat to the sauce.
- Adobo Sauce from Can: The adobo sauce adds the smokiness to the sauce.
- Honey: a little sweetness to calm down the heat.
- Seasoning: I use garlic powder and paprika
Directions:
Step Two – Blend until smooth.
Tips to making a good Chipotle Mayo:
- This mayo has a medium heat. If you would like to increase the heat add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or use spicy paprika. To decrease the heat use less of the adobo sauce from the can and/or less chipotle peppers.
- If you do not have honey on hand you can substitute with Karo syrup.
- Use low-fat mayo and low-fat sour cream to lower the calorie count on this sauce.
How to store Chipotle Mayo:
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight sealed container in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the sauce, as it will separate when thawed. This sauce should last about 2 weeks.
What to use the sauce with:
I love dipping French Fries in Chipotle Mayo. Try my Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries with this dipping sauce. You can also use it for quesadillas, tacos or even as a dressing for Taco Salad.
Try some of my other sauces I’ve made:
Homemade Alfredo Sauce – Nothing is better than homemade. This simple recipe for Homemade Alfredo Sauce is my favorite thing to serve with pasta. It is rich and creamy and a perfect traditional Italian Alfredo Sauce.
Fry Sauce – This Homemade Fry Sauce is amazing. Made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen; you won’t ever want to dip your fries in anything else!
Homemade Buffalo Sauce – Nothing beats Homemade Buffalo Sauce. I could top this on just about any recipe or just drink it with a straw.
