**Chipotle Mayonnaise**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup mayonnaise
– 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
– 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers can)
– 1 clove garlic, minced

**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preparing your chipotle peppers. Remove two chipotle peppers from the can, making sure to reserve some of the adobo sauce for added flavor.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice.
