Why This Recipe Works

For a quick homemade burger topping, we use a 50:50 mix of mayonnaise and sour cream and spike it with spicy chipotle chiles (canned smoked jalapenos). Garlic adds another layer of complexity. To give the flavors time to blend, we let the mixture sit for an hour before serving.
