Ingredients (~12 servings)
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice, from ~1 large lime
- 2-3 Tbsp whole milk (optional, for thinning)
- 1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
Mix Everything Together Until Smooth
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle chili powder until well combined.
The chipotle powder will clump up at first but just keep stirring – it’ll smooth out.
If you want it thinner for drizzling or dipping, add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want.
This keeps in the fridge for ~1 week and gets better after sitting for a few hours as the flavors meld.

Chipotle Mayonnaise
This is a basic chipotle mayo that takes ~5 minutes to make and goes on everything – burgers, tacos, grilled chicken, whatever. I always have chipotle chili powder on hand so this gets made pretty regularly.
