Ingredients
4 teaspoons Chipotles in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
½ cup Mayonnaise
½ lime, juiced Fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Seed the chipotle peppers to remove excess heat, then mince them finely into small, even pieces.
Place the mayonnaise in a medium bowl and add the minced chipotles along with any adobo sauce clinging to them.
Squeeze the lime juice to extract fresh juice, then pour it into the bowl with the mayonnaise and chipotle mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Stir all ingredients together until well combined and the color is evenly distributed throughout.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Comments
This condiment lives up to its stated five minutes—it's genuinely quick, just blending four ingredients. Chipotle in adobo and mayonnaise are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI; fresh lime and cilantro are reliable year-round in Charlotte. At roughly 50 cents per tablespoon-sized serving, it's economical and will last weeks refrigerated, making it a genuine workhorse for tacos, sandwiches, or roasted vegetables. The only reason this isn't a 5.0 is that the recipe assumes you already know how to balance heat and smoke—a home cook might need to test the ratio of chipotle to mayo on their first try.
