Ingredients
0 cups
- ½ cup mayo (or use sour cream, vegan mayo “Veganaise” – or make with silken tofu, see notes below)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 -2 teaspoons lime juice (to taste)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle powder – you can also use one chipotle pepper from a can (blending it with the mayo in a blender) or just stir in 1-3 teaspoons of the smoky adobo sauce from the can. Start conservatively, adding more to taste. I prefer the Adobo Sauce!

Preparation
Step 1
If making with Mayo or Veganaise, place all ingredients in a small bowl. Be conservative with the chipotle (you can always add more). Whisk until smooth with a fork or tiny whisk. ( See notes below if making with silken tofu.)
Step 2
Taste, adjust salt, heat, and spices to taste. (I like mine slightly salty, and slightly spicy).
Step 3
Store in a small jar in the fridge, or in a squirt bottle for easy use.
Step 4
Keeps up to 2 weeks.
Step 5
Save recipe for the next time?
