Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers according to your heat preference.
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Fresh lime juice brightens the flavor, so avoid using bottled lime juice if possible.
- This sauce also works great as a marinade or salad dressing base.
