This Chipotle Aioli recipe is easy to make and works well as a smokey tasty dip or sauce. A new condiment you'll want at every meal.
There's a great restaurant in town that used to serve yucca fries with a chipotle aioli dip. Something I have never seen served anywhere else. They no longer have yucca fries but continue to serve the chipotle aioli dip which is now paired with sweet potato fries.

I decided to try to make this dip myself. I am familiar with canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from a great pasta dish my sister used to make. Maybe I'll ask her if she will give me that recipe and I can share it in a future post.
Anyway, I thought I could combine some of the chipotles, some of the adobo sauce and some mayo and go from there. The one additional ingredient that I thought it needed was some citrus for balance and consistency. I decided to go with lime but I think lemons would also do the trick.

I served the dip with raw baby carrots and zucchini and some baked sweet potato fries.
If you're someone who really enjoys spicy and smoky food I could see this as your new substitute for mayo. Use it on burgers, sandwiches, and tacos. It just may be your new obsession.
P.S. You may also enjoy this delicious Chipotle Pumpkin Soup that is spicy and smoky. Other dip recipes are a Thai Bean Dip or a yummy Crab and Artichoke Dip. You can find them and much more on my Recipes Page.

Ummm, this sounds so yummy. My new favorite dip is equal parts light mayo and fat free Fage yogurt. You can season it with just about anything. I usually use some Mrs Dash and some type of season salt. It's great on fish, burgers, veggies, chips, etc. I try to tell myself it's healthy because of the yogurt!

Hi Marie,
You may want to try substituting your light mayo and greek yogurt in this recipe. I think it would totally work and make it a little more healthy. In fact, I think I'm going to try it.
