Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 pepper (plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce) Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a blender or small food processor, combine the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
Blend or process the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more lime juice for tanginess or a pinch more salt for flavor).
Transfer the sauce to a small bowl or airtight container for serving or storage.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, though this step is optional.
Serve as a dipping sauce for veggies, a spread for sandwiches or wraps, or as a drizzle over tacos, salads, or grilled proteins.
