Chipotle Pepper Aioli Recipe

is recipe couldn’t be any easier to make. There’s not much to it, other than measuring out the ingredients, then whisking them together with a fork. Then slather generously on your burger or bun and enjoy!

• Mayonnaise. Use a good quality mayonnaise like Best Foods (also called Hellman’s on the East Coast). You can also use a vegan mayo if you prefer.
• Adobo Sauce. We use canned chipotles in adobo sauce for this recipe. Just a teaspoon or two of the adobo sauce adds an amazing flavor to this aioli. I use Embasa brand canned chipotle peppers.
• Garlic. Garlic adds a lot of flavor to this sauce. We add 3 cloves, but you can start out with 1 or 2 and add more to your personal liking. 
• Lime Juice.  Just a touch of lime goes nicely with the smoky flavor.
• Seasoning.  We add  just a pinch of salt and black pepper to the mix.

How To Make Chipotle Aioli

s recipe is a simple one to make. And its a family favorite that we traditionally always made for our burgers. I recommend making it in advance so the flavors have a chance to really meld together in the refrigerator.

1. Whisk Ingredients. Whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, grated garlic and adobo sauce. Add more adobo sauce if you want things a little spicer. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
2. Refrigerate. Transfer aioli to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving (longer is even better) to allow the flavors to blend together.

Serving Suggestions

Slather this Chipotle Aioli on sandwiches, wraps and burgers instead of plain mayonnaise. It’s also great as a dipping sauce served with French fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, baked zucchini rounds, carrot and celery sticks, crackers and potato chips.

• Chopped Cheese
• Grilled Turkey Burgers
• Mexican Avocado Chicken Burger

How To Store Leftovers

The base for this aioli is made with mayonnaise, so it will need to be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. If properly stored, it can last up to 1 week.  Whisk it again with a fork before serving.
