Easy Chipotle Mayo 🌶️
This Chipotle Mayo is one of my favorite things to make to add to a burger, sandwich, salad, quesadilla - quite honestly anything lol 😋! It’s really simple to make too. All you need is mayo, chipotle peppers in adobo, paprika, garlic, salt and an immersion blender.
I used a coffee cup to blend mine but you can use whatever works best for you. If you don’t have an immersion blender, that’s ok too - you can just dice the chipotle peppers before adding to your mayo.
Here’s the recipe below!
Ingredients:
• 1 - 2 spoonfuls of mayo
• 2 chipotle peppers (or more if you want it to be more spicy 🌶️)
• 1/2 a spoonful of garlic
• 2 shakes of parika (can add more or less depending on spice preference)
• a pinch of salt
Directions:
1. In a cup (or bowl) add in your mayo, chipotle peppers, garlic, paprika, and salt.
2. Using an immersion blender (or by hand), blend ingredients until your mayo turns a orangish color and there are no large pieces of chipotle.
3. Add paprika to taste.
4. ✨ Enjoy ✨!
Chipotle mayo has become a staple in many kitchens thanks to its versatility and bold flavor. Not only does it enhance the taste of burgers and sandwiches, but it also serves as a delightful dip for fries and veggies. One of the biggest advantages of making your own chipotle mayo is that you can control the level of spice, allowing you to cater to your personal taste or that of your guests. In addition to the traditional sandwich applications, consider using this flavorful condiment in creative ways. For instance, it works wonderfully as a sauce for grilled meats or as a spread in wraps and tortillas. It can even elevate your homemade potato or pasta salads, adding a smoky flavor that’s sure to impress. When preparing your chipotle mayo, feel free to experiment with ingredient ratios. If you're feeling adventurous, adding a squeeze of lime or lemon juice can provide a refreshing zest that balances the creaminess of the mayonnaise with the heat of the chipotle. Furthermore, chipotle mayo can be made ahead of time, making it a fantastic option for meal prep enthusiasts. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it will keep for up to a week, ensuring you always have a flavorful sauce ready to go. Enjoy the process of making homemade condiments and indulge in the satisfying taste that chipotle mayo brings to your culinary creations!
