Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (sugar-free)

- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients on the countertop to ensure a smooth workflow. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the mayonnaise until it becomes slightly lighter and creamier, preparing it to blend nicely with the bold flavors coming next.
Next, stir in the chopped chipotle peppers and a spoonful of the adobo sauce they come packed in. Add a splash of fresh lime juice, then sprinkle in smoked paprika and garlic powder. Continue whisking thoroughly to evenly distribute the peppers’ smoky heat and the lime’s bright tang.
Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a twist of fresh black pepper, then give it a final stir. Taste-test a spoonful to ensure the heat and seasoning levels match your preference. Adjust with additional chipotle peppers or a little pinch of salt if needed.
Once perfectly blended, transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
When you’re ready, serve your Fiery Keto Chipotle Crema with your favorite protein, roast veggies, or a crunchy lettuce wrap. Expect it to bring a bold, luscious finish to just about anything you pair it with!
