This Creamy Chipotle Avocado Sauce is a delightful blend of smooth avocados and smoky chipotle that serves as a versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Perfect for adding a rich, zesty kick to any meal, it draws on the bold flavors typical of Southwestern cuisine.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados Hass variety recommended for creaminess
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt full-fat for a richer taste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed for optimum flavor
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili in adobo sauce finely chopped for an even distribution of spice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy base, followed by the freshly squeezed lime juice for a tangy brightness.
- Incorporate 1 teaspoon of chipotle chili in adobo sauce for the smoky heat, balancing it with the minced garlic and sea salt to taste.
