This Creamy Chipotle Sauce is the perfect balance of smoky, creamy, salty and spicy. It is my go-to sauce for tacos (especially fish tacos), burritos, and bowls. Best of all, it comes together in under 15 minutes!

Steps
Prepare the peppers. Using gloves, remove any stems and seeds from the chipotle peppers. You only need the flesh and juice.
Blend. Add the peppers to a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, oregano, a bit of salt and pepper. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Taste the sauce. It should be smoky, salty, sweet and a bit spicy. Make any adjustments you like at this point. You can add some sugar to balance the heat but it’s not necessary.
Serve. Transfer your sauce to a bowl and garnish with optional cilantro. You can also transfer the sauce to a squeeze bottle.
