How to Make Chipotle Mayo

  1. Finely chop 2 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce (reserve the remaining peppers and sauce for another use).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped chipotle peppers (with a spoonful of adobo sauce clinging to them), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ cup mayonnaise, and ¼ cup sour cream.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (For best results, chill for 2-4 hours).
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more adobo sauce for extra heat or more sour cream for a milder flavor.
  5. Serve chilled and enjoy! This chipotle mayo is delicious on tacos, burgers, fries, or as a dip for veggies.
