Notes
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for vibrant, authentic flavor.
- Add sriracha and chipotle powder gradually to control heat level.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for better creaminess and flavor.
- Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for best citrus freshness.
- Letting the aioli rest in the fridge improves flavor melding and thickens texture for easier spreading.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing is not recommended as texture may separate, but if necessary freeze in small portions and stir well after thawing.
- This aioli is best served cold or at room temperature.
