Spicy Chipotle Aioli Sauce
What it is
This is a creamy, flavorful sauce made with mayonnaise, garlic, and smoky chipotle peppers. The chipotle peppers are dried jalapeños that have been smoked, giving them a distinct, deep flavor. The mayonnaise provides a rich, smooth base, while the garlic adds a pungent bite. It's a versatile condiment that brings a kick of heat and a savory depth to many dishes. The consistency is typically thick and spreadable, making it easy to dollop or drizzle.
