Ingredients
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 pepper (plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce) Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions
Step 1
In a blender or small food processor, combine the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
Step 2
Blend or process the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more lime juice for tanginess or a pinch more salt for flavor).
Step 4
Transfer the sauce to a small bowl or airtight container for serving or storage.
Step 5
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, though this step is optional.
Step 6
Serve as a dipping sauce for veggies, a spread for sandwiches or wraps, or as a drizzle over tacos, salads, or grilled proteins.
