Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Having everything in one place makes the process smoother and more efficient.
  2. Step 2: Mince the Chipotle Peppers - Take the chipotle peppers out of the adobo sauce and finely mince them. The smaller the pieces, the better they’ll incorporate into the mayo.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, the minced chipotle peppers, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  4. Step 4: Mix Well - Using a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients together until they are well blended and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps of chipotle remaining.
  5. Step 5: Taste and Season - Give the mayo a taste. Add salt to your preference, and adjust the lemon juice if you like it tangier.
  6. Step 6: Chill and Serve - For the best flavor, let the chipotle mayo chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, swap regular mayo with avocado mayo for a creamy and nutritious alternative.
  • Use fresh lime juice instead of lemon for a different citrusy flavor.
  • Don’t skip mincing the chipotle peppers too finely; larger pieces can create an uneven texture.
