Drain the silken tofu in a fine mesh sieve for a few minutes to remove excess water.
In a blender or food processor, combine the drained silken tofu, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more lime juice or salt to suit your taste preferences.
Transfer the chili mayo to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a condiment for sandwiches, wraps, or as a dip for grilled veggies.
