Almost Primal Chipotle Southwest Sauce

I'm in love with Subway's Chipotle Southwest sauce. But I don't eat sandwiches and the "sandwich artists" always hate me when I ask for a bread-free flatbread breakfast sandwich (Subway despises our kind) and their salads are ridiculously cheap for being so overpriced. 


So, with a super-quick Google search, I found this: 




Almost Primal Chipotle Southwest Sauce*

And I'm as happy as the rest of the reviewers were. 

What I did differently: 
  • 4 tbs chipotle in adobo puree instead of 2
  • a few more squeezes of lime juice
This ended up tasting amazing on an omelet with green peppers, Canadian bacon, and Mexican-blend cheese. Andrew will definitely want it again, so I'm considering making a bunch more and freezing it so as to not waste the rest of my 7-ounce can of Chipotles. 

*The recipe calls for mayonnaise. My mayonnaise had soybean oil, which I try my best to avoid, but my very (very) generous grandmother gave me the jar and as far as the research shows, soybeans are pretty harmless when used infrequently and as condiments. 
In the future (when I can afford tons and tons of olive oil...the career world better find me this fall) I'll be making mass amounts of primal mayonnaise:
