In a food processor or blender jar, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mayonnaise, garlic, black pepper, salt, lime juice and zest, and optional honey.
Process until aioli forms a smooth texture.
Notes
Transfer the aioli to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate promptly at 40°F / 4°C or below. I recommend making enough to use within 3–4 days.
Use a clean spoon each time and follow any shorter storage instructions for your mayonnaise.
Start with less chipotle and blend in more to taste. If the sauce is too spicy, add more mayonnaise.
Use pasteurized eggs if making mayonnaise from scratch.
