Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
3–4 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce adjust to taste for more or less heat
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

In a medium jar or bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle sauce, honey, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Use a fork to stir vigorously. Use a small silicone spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom, then stir again until smooth and blended.
Taste and adjust sweetness, spice, or salt as needed.
Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to let the flavors blend.
When ready to use, stir well, as slight separation may occur.

Notes

Suggested Uses: as a spread for sandwiches, burgers, or wraps; a dip for fries, chips, veggies, or party appetizers like empanadas and chicken tenders; or a drizzle for tacos, burritos, grilled chicken, or shrimp.

You can use low-fat mayo or sour cream, but the sauce will be slightly thinner.

Dijon mustard can be used instead of yellow mustard for a slightly sharper flavor.

For presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chili powder, fresh parsley, and lime wedges.
