 Ingredients:

• 1 cup mayo
• ½ cup sour cream
• 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce; diced (These are spicy.  You can use less if you prefer.)
• ¼ cup lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

The combination of lime and chili gives this an authentic Mexican flavor.  When making tacos use boiled shrimp instead of beef or chicken. Use this mayo in place of salsa and you have turned a boring meal into something special.  You can also use this to make Caribbean Fish Flatbread Sandwiches.
