Chipotle Mayo ( aka Mexican Secret Sauce) - a simple 5 minute sauce that everyone should know about to give meals a huge BURST of flavor! Vegan adaptable,GF | www.feastingathome.comA wise woman once said,  “Fuck this shit.” And she lived happily ever after.  ~Anonymous

This vegan-adaptable Mexican Secret Sauce or Chipotle Mayo is probably not a huge secret anymore …but to some it may be the difference between a dish that is bland and unexciting to something fantastically delicious!  And the best thing is it only takes FIVE  minutes to make, and I’m pretty sure you already have the simple ingredients on hand. It keeps in the fridge for weeks and comes in handy frequently around here.

This is one of the sauces we use in our catering business. At home, I make a healthier vegan version (see notes in recipe) and keep it in a squirt bottle ready to drizzle lightly over tacos, fish, corn on the cob, nachos, enchiladas, and even over Brian’s fish sticks – adding a burst of flavor!  The latest use though, is over these Quick Fish Tacos or the Mexican Style Oaxacan Bowls ,   Tlayludas  or these super yummy Chipotle Portobello Tacos which you simply must try! So so yummy.  If you are vegan, make this with  Veganaise or silken tofu. A flavor booster for sure!

  • Author: Sylvia Fountaine | Feasting at Home Blog
  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Total Time: 5 mins
  • Yield: ½ cup
  • Category: Condiment
  • Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 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)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder – you can also use canned chipotle peppers (blending it all in a blender)  or just stirring in a teaspoon or two of the spicy smoky adobo sauce from the can.

Instructions

  1. If making with mayo or Veganaise, place all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth with a fork or tiny whisk. ( See notes if making with silken tofu.)
  2. Store in a small jar in the fridge, or in a squirt bottle for easy use. Keeps up to 3 weeks.

Notes

If making a vegan version with silken tofu- replace the mayo with ½ a package silken tofu ( about 6 ounces), leave out the water and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Increase salt to ½-¾ teaspoon, add ¼ teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar ( in addition to the lime) and place all in a food processor, blending until smooth and creamy. Use canned chipotle or the just the adobo sauce from the can, for the best flavor. Adjust salt and lime. I use Mori-Nu Organic Silken Tofu- Firm or Extra Firm Tofu
