Chipote Crema (Mexican Chipotle Lime Cream Sauce)

The easiest, tastiest fish taco sauce ever. It's mild, yet tangy, smoky and smooth and really brings out the flavour in fish without overpowering it. Use with battered or grilled fish tacos.

1 cup Mexican crema, full-fat Greek yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise
2 chipotle peppers, in adobo sauce
1 Tbsp. adobo sauce
2-4 cloves garlic
3 small Mexican limes, freshly juiced
1 tsp. sea salt

Finely chop the chipotle pepper and the garlic clove.

Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl including the lime juice. When you add the oregano crumble it with your fingers to break it into smaller pieces. Stir briskly with a fork.

Refrigerate the sauce 2 hours before serving.

Stir before serving.

Makes 8 servings.

Cook's Notes:

• If you prefer a spicier sauce, just add 1 or 2 more chipotles. Adding 2 chipotles will give it a big boost in heat and chipotle flavour. Try this sauce as a sandwich spread too. It's a big step up from plain mayonnaise.
• Storage: This sauce will keep well for 3 days in the refrigerator.
