- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt. This mixture forms the base of the sauce.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or other seasonings as needed to suit your preference.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and intensify for better taste.

Notes
- Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise reduces calories and adds a slight tang to the sauce.
- The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to control the heat level.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup to keep the recipe vegan if using plant-based mayo.
- For a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water or lime juice during blending.
