Put This Creamy Chipotle Sauce Recipe on Literally Everything!
This quick and easy chipotle sauce recipe will elevate whatever you put it on with its out-of-this-world smoky, spicy, tangy, creamy flavor combo. I love to whip it up in a few minutes when I’m making chicken, because I mean, come on, chicken can always benefit from a little extra flavor. And between you and me, I think this Greek yogurt chipotle sauce is practically a requirement for my oven baked chicken tacos. It makes it feel like such a special meal when you hardly put in any effort.
Seriously, this is the magic sauce that’ll save the day on those busy nights when you’re trying to get a fresh, wholesome meal on the table. I’m particularly partial to 3-ingredient and 4-ingredient sauces because they are such an easy way to add flavor to basic meals with very little effort (hello 3-minute yogurt tahini sauce). So try it out yourself as the best dipping or drizzling sauce. It really is good on everything, but I especially love pairing with with slow cooker shredded chicken breasts for the ultimate in effortless meals.
The Making of the Best Taco Dip Ever
Okay, I wanted to use Greek yogurt as the base to add more protein, but of course you can use sour cream as an easy sub. And trust me, just a little bit of mayo adds a ridiculously delicious balance to the flavor of the yogurt and works surprisingly well with chicken, tacos, and fish tacos. Finally, a little zing from lime juice and heat from chipotles in adobo creates the creamiest, most flavorful sauce with just a few minutes of prep.

Chipotle Dipping Sauce Tips + Tricks
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce, so 6 servings of 1/4 cup is a generous amount. If you use it as a drizzle, you may end up getting even more servings.
- Make Ahead: I wanted to make a big batch because it actually tastes better when you make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge!
- Adjust the Heat: If you aren’t sure how spicy you want your sauce, just mix in one teaspoon of the chipotles in adobo at a time, taste, and add more if desired.
- Chipotle Powder: If you can’t find canned chipotles in adobo, you can substitute chipotle powder or smoked chili powder.
- Extra Chipotle in Adobo: If you have extra chipotle in adobo, freeze in tablespoon portions to use for recipes in the future.

Quick Chipotle Sauce (for Chicken, Tacos + More)
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from about 1 juicy lime
- 3 teaspoons chipotle in adobo
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Taste, adjust seasonings if desired, and serve.
Notes
- Chipotle in adobo: I used a combo of sauce and finely minced chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo for this recipe. I found 3 teaspoons to be the correct amount for my family’s spice tolerance. If you like spicier, go for it! I recommend adding 1 teaspoon of chipotles at a time, whisk, taste, and add more, one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired heat level.
- Chipotle powder: chipotle powder (smoked chili powder) may be substituted for the canned chipotles in adobo.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce, so 6 servings of 1/4 cup is a generous amount. If you use it as a drizzle, you may end up getting even more servings.
- Make Ahead: I wanted to make a big batch because it actually tastes better when you make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
- Greek yogurt: I like using low-fat for this recipe, but whole Greek yogurt also works well, as does sour cream.
