Rubio's Chipotle Cream Sauce - Tried~n~true

This is a copy-cat recipe from Rubio's Coastal Grill.  They serve in on tacos - but I like it as a dip for chicarones (pork skins.) 

Last night I cooked chicken breasts in this sauce (very low carb main dish) and this morning I made an omelet with leftover meat, topped with Mexican Blend Cheese.

This makes about a cup of sauce, and the nutrition estimates are for a 2-Tablespoon serving. 


     1/2           cup  mayonnaise
     1/2           cup  sour cream
     1/2      teaspoon  garlic powder
  3        tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
  1         tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  1         tablespoon  chipotle pepper -- crushed (or use 1 tablespoon chipotle powder)
                        salt and pepper
