This dairy free and egg free recipe is made with homemade vegan aquafaba mayo just like my vegan sriracha mayo, garlic aioli, and thousand island dressing recipes. If you don't want to make your own vegan mayo, you can also use store-bought.
Before we jump into the recipe, let's talk about how you can customize it and learn some tips.
What is vegan chipotle mayo made of?
Ingredients
Mayo
I make homemade mayo from aquafaba so that's what I use. You can also buy vegan mayonnaise at the store.
Adobo Sauce
We will be using the adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I don't usually add the chipotle peppers because it doesn't make it as smooth and creamy.
Garlic
I only use 1 clove because raw garlic can be overpowering. You can also adjust the measurement to your liking!
Lime Juice
Freshly squeezed lime juice gives this sauce a tangy flavor so I don't recommend omitting it. I don't recommend using a bottle version either because I don't think it tastes fresh.
Cumin & Smoked Paprika
Smoked paprika is my favorite spice and it works great in this vegan chipotle sauce. Also, adding a little bit of cumin gives more flavor.
How to make it
- All you have to do is to add all the ingredients in a bowl and then mix it well. But always adjust to taste and add salt or make the adjustment if needed! You can serve it right away or place it in the fridge for 30 minutes for better flavor.
Tips
- You can add more adobo sauce if you like it spicier but keep in mind the spice level.
- Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes because it helps flavors to develop.
- Always adjust to taste and add salt if needed!
