Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chipotle
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Scoop the mayonnaise into a mixing bowl, then add the paprika, chipotle, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and vinegar.
- Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Give it a taste and tweak it to your liking. If the heat is too strong, mellow it out with extra mayo or a teaspoon of sugar. For the best flavor, let it rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Start with a little chipotle and add more as needed to match your heat preference. Taste and tweak as you go to get the right balance.
- Old spices lose their potency over time, so check that yours are fresh to ensure the boldest flavor in every bite.
- Whisk well to ensure the spices blend smoothly into the mayo. Sprinkling them over the top instead of adding them all at once helps avoid clumping.
- The quality of your mayonnaise is the base of the recipe, so choose a creamy, well-balanced brand for the best flavor.
- A splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of sriracha, or a bit of sesame oil can add depth and make the mayo even more flavorful.
- Refrigerating for 15 to 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld.
