- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers based on your heat tolerance.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor.
- Let the sauce chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Try roasting the garlic powder briefly before adding for a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
