Recipe video above. This chipotle mayo is a little bit spicy, a little bit smoky, and very easy to make. Use it as a dip or slather it on burgers and sandwiches to add a punch of flavor and heat. This popular condiment keeps well in the fridge, and it's ready in just 5 minutes!
Add all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and mix well.
¾ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 ½ teaspoons pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 12 drops liquid smoke, 1 large garlic clove, 1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt
Either serve it right away or store it for up to 10 days.
Notes
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce: I like to buy a can and then puree them. The pureed peppers can be stored in a clean jar in your fridge for a very long time. You can also use some of the adobo sauce in the jar. Liquid smoke: This inexpensive ingredient keeps nearly forever in your pantry. It is available online or near the BBQ sauces in most grocery stores, adding a wonderful smoky flavor to the mayo.
