Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a richer option)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning the sauce if necessary)
Instructions
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, garlic clove, maple syrup, salt, and cumin to a blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt for flavor balance, lime juice for tanginess, or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
If the sauce is too thick for your liking, thin it out by adding a tablespoon of water at a time, blending until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the chipotle sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
