  1. I have a can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce. Is it ok to use one of those peppers, or does it need to by a dried chipotle pepper? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dried one.

    1. Hi Ryan, for this recipe we use dried chipotle peppers or you can use ½ teaspoon chipotle powder (or to taste).

  2. I have tried other chipotle aioli recipes but this is the chipotle aioli recipe I have been searching for! The flavors are perfect! Thanks for sharing!5 stars

  3. This Chipotle Aioli is my new favorite dip! I made it to go with my sweet potato fries and the whole family loved it. I didn’t have fresh lime juice but it still tasted great without it!5 stars
