Creamy Jalapeño Aioli

A quesadilla can be more than just a handful of shredded cheese thrown onto a tortilla! In an effort to replicate some of my favorite restaurant (and take-out) Mexican foods, I’ve played around with recipes online to make the perfect rich, creamy, and flavorful condiment for fajitas, quesadillas, tacos, wraps, and more! You can even use it as a dipping sauce for your favorite appetizers! 

This recipe makes about 1 cup, which is enough for 16 wraps, 8 large quesadillas, or to store in the fridge for later use!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp minced pickled jalapeños
• 2 tbsp pickled jalapeño brine from jar
• 3 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp chipotle powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp cayenne (add more for additional spice)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp brown sugar

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl or food processor and mix thoroughly!

This recipe is a staple in our house, and can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to four weeks! I have never had a problem with it spoiling.
