Burrito Sauce Ingredients – The Burrito Bros Way
Essential Chipotle Peppers and Sour Cream Base
Here’s what you’ll need for this homemade burrito sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo for plant-based option)
- ¼ cup sour cream (substitute with Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh-squeezed preferred)
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (halal-certified brands available at most Toronto grocers)
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
Where to Find Smoky Chipotle in Toronto & Mississauga
Finding halal chipotle peppers in the GTA is easier than you think. Most major supermarkets in Toronto stock them in the international aisle. For authentic adobo sauce, check out the Latin American shops along Dundas West or visit Mississauga’s Central Parkway markets.
Make Burrito Sauce with Local GTA Ingredients
Supporting local means fresher ingredients and better flavour. Pick up cilantro from Toronto farmers’ markets, and grab organic lime juice from Mississauga’s health food stores. The smoky flavour intensifies when you use quality ingredients.
How to Make Burrito Sauce – Burrito Bros’ Step-by-Step Recipe
Blender Method for Smooth Cream Sauce
- Add mayo, sour cream, and lime juice to your high-speed blender
- Toss in the chipotle peppers with their adobo liquid
- Add your dry seasoning – cumin, garlic powder, and paprika
- Blend until you achieve that perfect creamy consistency (about 30 seconds)
- Taste and adjust – need more tang? Add lime. Want more smoke? Another pepper does the trick
Pro Tips to Make Sauce Like Burrito Bros
The secret to restaurant-quality sauce? Let it rest. After blending, refrigerate for 30 minutes. This allows the flavours to marry, creating incredible depth of flavour. For extra richness, add a pinch of oregano or a dash of hot sauce.
Creating That Perfect Smoky Chipotle Flavour
The Smokey essence comes from properly charred Chile peppers. If you want to amplify this, add a tiny bit of liquid smoke or extra adobo sauce. Remember, you can always add more spicy kick but can’t take it away.
