Chipotle Mayo...without the mayo!

Chipotle is definitely the trending flavor these days, and man it packs quite a punch!  But typically these sauces are full of yucky mayo and who wants all the fat and calories?!  How bout if you could still get that amazing smokey flavor, but it counted as a protein instead?!  Almost too good to be true, my friends!  The secret is in the Greek yogurt.  I was terrified of Greek yogurt for ages.  I think I let carton after carton expire in my fridge for about six months before the light in my head clicked on and I realized I'd been thinking about Greek yogurt all wrong!  It wasn't like candy-flavored yogurt that satisfied my sweet tooth...no, it was SOUR CREAM!  Ding!  Now I was ready to try it!  And boy was it a game changer!  I use it as a sour cream substitute now and get an extra dose of protein!  Win!


CHIPOTLE MAYO

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 canned chipotle chili peppers in adobo
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon Mrs Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend


Instructions

Add the garlic cloves to a food processor or blender, and pulse until evenly chopped. Blend in chipotle peppers next, then all other ingredients and blend until smooth. 

It is the most mild in heat immediately after, and will intensify the longer it sits so beware!
