Copycat Jersey Mikes Chipotle Mayo Recipe

This rich, smoky Copycat Jersey Mikes Chipotle Mayo Recipe is made with mayonnaise and chipotle peppers in adobo and ready in just 5 minutes. The vibrant orange color pops as the spicy peppers blend smoothly into the creamy base. I keep a jar of this in my fridge at all times for sandwiches and wraps.

Better Than Takeaway

I used to visit the sub shop just for a taste of their famous spicy spread. I realized I could make it at home for a fraction of the cost.

My first few batches lacked that signature tang. I learned that adding a splash of fresh lime juice completely balances the heat.

Copycat Jersey Mikes Chipotle Mayo Recipe Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

How To Make Copycat Jersey Mikes Chipotle Mayo Recipe

1. Prep the peppers: Roughly chop the chipotle peppers to make blending easier.
2. Combine ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, chopped peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to a food processor or blender.
3. Blend until smooth: Pulse for 30 seconds until the mixture reaches a smooth, even orange color.
4. Chill before serving: Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Recipe Tips

• Control the spice: Use fewer peppers if you prefer a milder sauce, or add an extra if you love heat.
• Use full-fat mayo: Low-fat mayonnaise can make the final spread too watery and lacking in richness.
• Let it rest: Chilling the mayo before using allows the smoky garlic flavors to develop fully.

What To Serve With Jersey Mikes Chipotle Mayo

Spread this generously on turkey or roast beef subs for a classic deli experience. It also works perfectly as a dip for crispy french fries or sweet potato wedges.

How To Store

Keep this in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. Do not freeze this mayo, as it will separate and ruin the creamy texture when thawed.

FAQs

Can I use dried chipotle powder instead?

Yes, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, but you will miss out on the deep, roasted flavor of the adobo sauce.

What is adobo sauce?

It is a tangy, sweet, and spicy red sauce that dried chipotle peppers are typically canned and preserved in.

Is this spread very spicy?
