Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce

Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl: sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, and salt.
- Using a whisk or immersion blender, thoroughly combine all ingredients until the sauce becomes smooth and uniform in color, with a creamy orange-tan hue from the chipotle peppers.

Tips
- Choose high-quality sour cream for the smoothest, richest base.
- When adding chipotle peppers, start with less and taste as you go - they can be quite spicy!
- Use an immersion blender for the smoothest possible texture.
- Allow the sauce to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors fully develop and meld together.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the sour cream.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain the chipotle peppers before blending to remove any seeds or tough bits.
- This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for meal prep and last-minute flavor boosts.
