CHIPOTLE LIME SAUCE COPYCAT RECIPE

Emma
Jump to Recipe

A bright and zesty chipotle lime sauce can instantly take your dishes from
boring to bold. With its tangy citrus kick and smoky heat, this sauce livens up
everything it touches. I love whipping up a batch to dress up tacos, seafood,
grilled meats, eggs – you name it! The versatility of this chipotle lime sauce
makes it a staple in my kitchen.

In this recipe, I’ll walk you through how to make the tastiest chipotle lime
sauce from scratch. It’s surprisingly easy to put together with just a few
simple ingredients. The end result is a sauce bursting with vibrant Mexican
flavors that will have everyone going back for more. Grab your apron and let’s
get cooking!


WHAT DOES CHIPOTLE LIME SAUCE TASTE LIKE?

One bite of this sauce and your tastebuds will come alive! The predominant
flavors are tart lime and smoky chipotle. The lime juice provides bright citrus
notes that dance on your tongue. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce contribute a
deep, earthy smokiness along with a slow spicy burn.

When these two bold flavors combine, they create a well-balanced sauce that is
equally tangy and hot. The creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream helps to
mellow out the acidity from the lime and tame the heat of the chipotles. This
makes for a sauce with some nice heat that even spice-sensitive palates can
handle.

Some extra touches like pepper mushroom sauce add an additional layer of umami
savoriness. The overall effect is a sauce that starts out fresh and tangy
upfront, then gradually builds to a warm, lingering heat. Every bite is an
exciting flavor journey!


HOW TO MAKE CHIPOTLE LIME SAUCE

Making chipotle lime sauce at home is simple. With just 5 main ingredients and a
quick blend, you can have a big batch ready in 10 minutes flat.


CHIPOTLE LIME SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

 * 1⁄2 cup sour cream
 * 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
 * 1 1⁄2 ounces fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
 * 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
 * 1 ounce pepper mushroom sauce (optional)


KITCHEN TOOLS NEEDED:

 * Cutting board
 * Juicer or citrus reamer
 * Measuring cups
 * Mixing bowl
 * Spoon for mixing
 * Blender or food processor


STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Mixing the Base

You’ll start by grabbing a bowl and adding in the sour cream and mayo, about
half a cup each. Give them a good mix until they’re nicely combined.

Step 2: Adding the Lime Zing

Next, pour in the lime juice, about 1 1/2 ounces. This gives your sauce that
refreshing citrus kick. Mix it all in until it’s fully incorporated.

Step 3: Spicing it Up

Now, it’s time to bring in the heat! Crack open a can of chipotle peppers in
adobo sauce. Using a spoon, roughly mash up all the peppers in the can. This
releases their smoky flavor and heat into your sauce.

Step 4: Adding Flavor Depth

To deepen the flavor, add in about an ounce of pepper mushroom sauce. This step
is optional, but it really adds a nice savory element to the sauce. If there are
any big pepper chunks, give them a good mash against the side of the bowl to
break them up.

Step 5: Adjusting the Taste

Take a little taste of the sauce to see if it needs more heat or flavor. If you
feel like it needs an extra kick, add another spoonful of sauce. Remember, you
can always add more, but you can’t take it away!

Step 6: Enjoying the Versatility

And that’s it! Your chipotle lime sauce is ready to rock. Drizzle it over
burritos, tacos, sandwiches, or even use it to jazz up a stir-fry. It’s also
fantastic for dressing up home fries!

That’s it! You now have a beautiful orange-hued chipotle lime sauce ready to
amplify the flavor of anything it touches. It can be enjoyed right away or
stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.


RECIPE VARIATIONS

The great thing about homemade chipotle lime sauce is that it’s extremely
customizable. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different variations to put
your own spin on it!

 * For extra smokiness, add minced smoked paprika or ancho chili powder.
 * Swap the mayo for Greek yogurt or avocado for a tangy twist.
 * Use mango or pineapple juice instead of lime for a tropical vibe.
 * Add cumin, oregano, or cilantro for Southwest flavor.
 * For more heat, throw in a minced habanero or serrano chili.
 * To make it creamy and paleo-friendly, use cashew cream instead of mayo.

No matter how you change it up, this sauce always ends up packing a flavor
punch. Adjust it to your tastes and get creative with unique flavor combos. The
possibilities are endless!


SERVING SUGGESTIONS

A quick and easy chipotle lime sauce has so many great uses. Here are some of my
favorite ways to use this vibrant sauce:


FOR TACOS

 * Drizzle on fish, shrimp, or chicken tacos
 * Use as a taco topper along with pico de gallo
 * Mix into the ground beef filling for extra moisture and flavor
 * Swirl into refried beans


FOR SALADS

 * Toss with mixed greens, black beans, corn, and avocado
 * Use as salad dressing instead of vinaigrette
 * Drizzle over chicken, steak, or shrimp salad


FOR BOWLS

 * Ladle over rice bowls, burrito bowls, or poke bowls
 * Mix into quinoa or farro for a protein bowl
 * Spoon over vegetarian Tex-Mex bowls


FOR WINGS AND DRUMS

 * Toss fried chicken wings in sauce for crispy chipotle lime wings
 * Brush over chicken thighs and drumsticks before grilling
 * Use as a dip for chicken tenders or nuggets


FOR SEAFOOD

 * Brush over salmon or tilapia fillets before broiling
 * Toss with sauteed shrimp or scallops
 * Serve alongside seared tuna or fish tacos


FOR STEAK AND CHICKEN

 * Use as a marinade for fajita meat
 * Brush over chicken breasts before baking or grilling
 * Drizzle over grilled skirt or flank steak

The possibilities are endless! This sauce truly enhances any protein or veggie
it touches.


LEFTOVER STORAGE

One of the bonuses of making a big batch of chipotle lime sauce is getting to
enjoy the leftovers. Here are some tips for storing and re-using any extra
sauce:

 * Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
 * Freeze extra sauce for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before using.
 * Reheat gently over low heat, adding water to loosen if needed.
 * Use leftovers to make chipotle mayo. Just whisk sauce into plain mayo.
 * Mix with Greek yogurt to make chipotle crema.
 * Stir into plain rice vinegar for a smoky salad dressing.
 * Toss with chickpeas and bake at 400F for spicy roasted chickpeas.

With proper storage, this sauce stays fresh and flavorful. A batch lasts a while
in my fridge because it’s so versatile!


FAQS


HOW LONG DOES THIS SAUCE LAST?

The sauce will keep for 5-7 days stored in the refrigerator. For maximum
freshness, use within a week.


CAN I FREEZE THE SAUCE?

Absolutely! Transfer leftovers to a freezer bag or airtight container. It will
keep for 2-3 months in the freezer.


WHAT KIND OF CHIPOTLES SHOULD I USE?

Look for a 7 oz can of chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce. The adobo is a
seasoned sauce that adds lots of flavor.


CAN I USE LIME JUICE FROM A BOTTLE?

Bottled lime juice works in a pinch but won’t be quite as fresh and bright as
juiced limes. For best results, juice fresh limes.


WHAT IF MY SAUCE IS TOO SPICY?

Add more mayo or sour cream to tame the heat level. You can also use less
chipotle peppers when making it.


WHAT SHOULD I SERVE THIS SAUCE WITH?

This versatile sauce is delicious with tacos, wings, seafood, eggs, chicken –
you name it! Use it as a condiment, marinade, dressing, topping, or dip.
