Chipotle dressing is a delicious and smoky dressing that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, tacos, or as a dipping sauce. Here's a simple recipe to make Chipotle dressing at home:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers in adobo)
- 1-2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo (adjust to your preferred spice level)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (to adjust consistency, if needed)
Instructions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, adobo sauce, chipotle peppers, lime juice, ground cumin, and garlic powder. The adobo sauce and chipotle peppers are where the smoky and spicy flavors come from, so adjust the quantity based on your taste preference. Start with one chipotle pepper and add more for extra heat if desired.
2. Blend the mixture until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
3. Taste the dressing and add salt and pepper according to your liking.
4. If the dressing is too thick for your preference, you can add a splash of water and blend again until you achieve your desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much water at once, as you don't want to make the dressing too runny.
5. Once you've achieved the desired taste and consistency, transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
Your homemade Chipotle dressing is now ready to use! Drizzle it over your favorite salads, use it as a sauce for tacos or burritos, or enjoy it as a dip for vegetables or chips. Enjoy the smoky and flavorful goodness of this versatile dressing!
