  • 1/2 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper mashed into a paste, from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • Juice of one lime or 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine the sour cream (or greek yogurt), mashed chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
