Whenever possible, I like to make things a little healthier. We are bombarded daily with gut busting additives and sodium and fat laden foods. One way that I like to navigate through the cess pool is to make the things that I won't eat because they have mayo in them and add different things to make them not only edible to me, but much friendlier to the waistline. One I came up with the other day was my version of a chipotle aioli. I try to use spices whenever possible to avoid fat and salt...try it and get creative.
Ingredients:
2 whole chipotle peppers
3 to 4 teaspoons of adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers
8 oz. of low fat plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon each of: paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, cumin, black pepper and sugar
Directions:
Dice the peppers as fine as possible (if the consistency is still too rough for you add to a blender or food processor). Add peppers, yogurt and spices to a bowl and mix until incorporated. Add the 3 teaspoons of the adobo sauce and mix. Add the fourth teaspoon if the color isn't to your liking or you would like it a touch hotter. Just add the fourth:) it won't kill you.
This sauce is a great substitute for anything you would put mayo on; burgers, sandwiches, wraps, eat it by the spoonful or whatever suits your fancy. Good luck and enjoy!!!!
