Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients
- ½ cup mayo (preferably Olive Oil Mayo)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Juice of 3 limes
- 2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayo, plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, salt, garlic powder, lime juice, and chipotle adobo sauce until the sauce is smooth and well blended.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and add a little extra lime juice if desired to enhance flavor and adjust the consistency.
- Serve: Serve the sauce alongside your favorite fish tacos as a creamy and zesty accompaniment.
Notes
- Mayo: Olive Oil Mayo lends a rich creaminess, but light mayo works well too. You can substitute more Greek yogurt for mayo to make it healthier, but the original ratio provides the best flavor and creaminess.
- Chipotle adobo sauce: You can extract this sauce from a can of chipotle peppers or buy a variety that contains only the adobo sauce without peppers for convenience.
- Serving Size and Storage: This recipe makes about 1 cup of sauce and keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. It can be easily halved or doubled.
