How to Make Rubio S Chipotle Cream Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to a food processor. Process until smooth, adding 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise or sour cream if needed to help it blend.
Gently stir the chipotle puree into the mayonnaise mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more chipotle peppers for extra heat (start with small amounts, as even a little can be very spicy!), or more lime juice for extra tang.
Serve immediately over your favorite tacos, burritos, or use as a dipping sauce.
Enjoy your homemade Rubio's-inspired chipotle cream sauce!
