Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a richer option)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 piece Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning the sauce if necessary)

Directions

Step 1

Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, garlic clove, maple syrup, salt, and cumin to a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients on high speed until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Step 3

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt for flavor balance, lime juice for tanginess, or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.

Step 4

If the sauce is too thick for your liking, thin it out by adding a tablespoon of water at a time, blending until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Transfer the chipotle sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
