If you look up a recipe for chipotle mayo, it's pretty universal. It basically involves regular mayo combined with some pureed chipotle in adobo. Some suggest adding lime.
And it seems like there's a consensus that this is how to make a standard chipotle mayo. Apparently, everybody loves this simple recipe. Even Bobby Flay promotes this recipe...
Personally, I was hugely disappointed. When I added the pureed chipotle in adobo (Embasa brand) with the mayo, it really just ended up accentuating the "paste-like" taste of mayo, followed by a spicy kick to the gut.
By "paste-like," I mean the taste of ordinary ranch. I love the taste of "cool ranch," but I'm not into the buttermilk variety. And I feel like the universal recipe for chipotle mayo, results in a buttermilky mayo + heartburn.
In contrast, has anybody tried the chipotle mayo from Kraft? It's exactly what I was looking for. Carl's Jr also uses this same chipotle mayo for its Guacamole Bacon $6 Burger. If you've ever tried it, you know that this particular chipotle mayo really ties the burger together. Without it, guacamole burgers are bland.
I have no real problem buying Kraft's Chipotle Mayo for the rest of my life. But just out of curiosity, does anybody know how to make chipotle mayo taste like the Kraft version? Why is it so much better? Did they add sugar? It's more "cool ranch"-esque, than sour and buttermilky...
