Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 small peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and fully blended.
Use a fine grater or zester to remove just the orange zest from one orange. Add 1 teaspoon of zest to the bowl.
Squeeze the juice from the orange to extract fresh orange juice, and measure 2 tablespoons. Add it to the mixture.
Finely chop the chipotle peppers or puree them in a small food processor for a smoother dip. Add the chopped or pureed chipotle peppers and 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce to the bowl.
Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dip is smooth.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed. For more heat, add additional adobo sauce in small increments.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately with chips, fresh vegetables, or bread. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days to allow the flavors to meld further.
