What is aioli?

Although traditionally the word aioli refers to a sauce made up of olive oil, mashed garlic, and salt, the aioli most people know refers to a creamier, mayo-based sauce that can be seasoned in different ways.

We’re making the creamy mayo-based aioli today…and it’s seasoned with chipotle peppers!

Ingredients

  • Mayonnaise and Sour Cream – typical aioli just uses mayo as the base but I love the tangy flavor that sour cream adds in this one.
  • Garlic – adds a subtle kick of nutty flavor.
  • Lemon Juice – gives the aioli a citrus-y tang.
  • Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce – the chipotle in this aioli adds tons of spicy, smoky flavor to offset the creaminess of the mayo and sour cream.
  • Salt, Black Pepper, Onion Powder, and Cumin – a simple blend of spices that brings out other ingredients and adds even more flavor.

How to make

This delicious condiment is ready in just 5 minutes!

  1. Place mayo, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, salt, pepper, onion powder, and cumin into a large bowl or food processor.
  2. Whisk or pulse until well combined and creamy then serve and enjoy!

How to serve chipotle aioli

Chipotle aioli can be served in a number of different ways and with so many different recipes!

  • As a dip. Serve next to french fries, sweet potato fries, tater tots, or potato wedges.
  • On burgers/sandwiches. Spread it on pork burgers, portobello mushroom burgers, chicken sandwiches, or even grilled cheese.
  • Over veggies. Serve it on roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes, or steamed broccoli.
  • As a sauce. Drizzle it on chicken tenders or pork chops.
  • In tacos. Dollop it on sweet potato tacos, shrimp tacos, or chicken tacos.

How to store

Leftover chipotle aioli will last for up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.

    5 stars Hooked! Made it for the 1st time to mimic a dish I enjoyed at a restaurant recently. Nailed it! It was yummy on the tilapia, sirloin, and all the veggies! Zucchini, yellow squash, & mushrooms were sautéed. Broccoli & cauliflower were roasted with the tilapia. I followed the recipe to a T (for once) ans only used 2 Chipotle peppers since I’m very wimpy on the pepper scale. My hubs loved it too, and he likes the hottest peppers he can find.
