Instructions

Remove seeds and membranes from chipotle peppers for a milder sauce, or leave them in for more heat.
Combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, paprika, onion powder, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning or spice level as desired.
Transfer to a container or squeeze bottle and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.

Notes

Use smoked paprika for extra depth and smokiness.
For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based mayo and sour cream.
Stir in fresh cilantro after blending for added freshness.
Let sauce chill before serving for best flavor.
