How to make Chipotle Mayo (aka Mexican Secret
Sauce) – a fast and easy 5-minute sauce that
everyone should know about, to give meals a huge
BURST of flavor! Vegan adaptable, GF!
Your self love is a medicine for the earth. ~ Yung
Pueblo
This vegan-adaptable, Chipotle Mayo – or
Mexican Secret Sauce- is probably not a huge
secret anymore … but to some, it may be the
di!erence between a dish that is bland and
unexciting to something fantastically delicious!
Use it as taco sauce, over burrito bowls, or with
most any Mexican- inspired recipes!
And the best thing is, it only takes FIVE minutes to
make, and I’m pretty sure you already have the
simple ingredients on hand. It keeps in the fridge
for weeks and comes in handy quite frequently
around here. The best tasting taco sauce, ever!
watch how easy it is to
make chipotle mayo!

Chipotle Mayo Recipe
This chipotle sauce is one we use in our catering
business. At home, I make a healthier vegan
version (see notes in recipe) and keep it in a squirt
bottle ready to drizzle lightly over tacos, fish, corn
on the cob, nachos, enchiladas, and even over
Brian’s fish sticks – adding a burst of flavor! The
latest use though, is over these Quick Fish Tacos or
the Mexican Style Oaxacan Bowls, Tlayludas or
these super yummy Chipotle Portobello Tacos
which you simply must try!
If you are vegan, make this with Veganaise or
silken tofu. A flavor booster for sure!
On the home front: I’ve been meaning to tell you a
story, but until now the words have not come. It’s
why I picked this quote. I trust that those of you
need to hear this story will find it, and those who
don’t will simply skip to the recipe.
When my mother, Lea, turned 80, she le" my
father.
He had gone on his yearly month-long trip to
Egypt, and with the help of her good friend, she
packed up her all belongings and moved out of
the house where I grew up, where she had lived
for 35 years. Imagine how di!icult this would be
at any age, and then imagine it at the age of 80.

When he returned she was gone. They were
married for 42 years.
My father, like all of us, had his good qualities and
his flaws. He could treat her terribly, become
angry, volatile, tearing her down emotionally, but
could also be very loving in his own way. Which
made leaving him very di!icult. A complicated
man, heavily influenced by his culture. He could
not see any areas for improvement within himself,
and would not even consider “working on the
marriage” with her. She stayed with him out of
duty, guilt, religion and out of “what would
people think?”.
Growing up, I found myself wishing desperately
she would leave him, because I could see how the
stress of being in that relationship took a toll on
her, not just emotionally, but physically. She was
constantly on edge, stressed, sad, isolated. She
began to have serious heart problems. It wasn’t
until she was 80, that she had the strength and
courage to leave.
And then she lived 3 more years…
Believe me when I tell you, even though the rest
of her time here was short, they were the
happiest, most incredible, three years of her life!
She was free and light and bubbling with joy!
E!ervescent. I had never witnessed this before!
She completely transformed. All her worry lines
faded. It was like a huge weight was li"ed. Her
heart became light, and love just poured out of
her entire being. Truly remarkable.
Looking back, I believe her lesson in this life was
to experience love fully, and specifically, to
experience self-love. She had always put
everyone else first, serving others in her beautiful
faithful way -as a nurse, midwife (in Nigeria),
faithful friend, nurturing mother, sister, and wife.
But a day came when she chose the path of selflove and healing. This did not mean she didn’t
love my father. It just meant she couldn’t be
married to him for one more day.
Such a beautiful lesson to give her only daughter,
who at the time was also struggling in her
marriage.

I just wanted to share this with you, because I
know that marriage can be one of the hardest
things. Sometimes the lesson is not always
“making our bed and lying in it”, and being
miserable for the rest of our days. If a partner is
willing to work on marriage then by all means,
work on it! But if a partner is unwilling to work on
it, you don’t have to continue down the same
dead-end road until your dying days. You don’t
have to sacrifice yourself. And chances are, any
step that you take towards self-love and selfhealing will teach your children to do the same. It
was the most precious gi" she gave me.
Sometimes the lesson is learning to love
ourselves enough to take care of our soul, make
healthy, unsettling choices, and take courageous
action. This is not the easy road, change always
feels so much scarier than living with
unhappiness. But I just wanted to share that a
di!erent path is indeed possible. And that if my
mother could do this, at 80, so can we all. And that
it is never too late.
Back to the recipe -simply stir the ingredients
together. You can make it spicy, or you can keep it
mild. Your choice!
Use mayo or keep it vegan with vegan mayo or
silken tofu!
Just whisk it up….and it’s done!
How easy is that?

Instructions
1
If making with mayo or Veganaise,
place all ingredients in a small bowl.
Be conservative with the chipotle (
you can always add more). Whisk
until smooth with a fork or tiny
whisk. ( See notes below if making
with silken tofu.)
2
Taste, adjust heat and
spices, adding more spices if you
like. ( I usually add more salt and
chili powder to taste.)
3
Store in a small jar in the fridge, or
in a squirt bottle for easy use. Keeps
up to 3 weeks.
Notes
i
If making a vegan version with
silken tofu– replace the mayo with
½ a package silken tofu ( about 6
ounces or 165 grams), leave out
the water and add 2 tablespoons
olive oil. Increase salt to ½-¾
teaspoon, add ¼ teaspoon sugar
and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
(in addition to the lime) and place
all in a food processor, blending
until smooth and creamy. Use a
canned chipotle pepper ( or half of
one!) or just a teaspoon or two of
the adobo sauce from the can, for
the best flavor. Adjust salt, heat
and lime.
i
I use Mori-Nu Organic Silken Tofu–
Firm or Extra Firm Tofu – ½ of a
12.5 ounce package.
