Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by roasting two cloves of garlic in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fragrant.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the roasted garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt.
  3. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste your chipotle sauce and adjust the flavors as needed, adding more chipotle for heat or additional sour cream to mellow.
  5. If your sauce is too thick, add a splash of olive oil and blend briefly again.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a glass jar and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
