This ancho aioli sauce has the deep, earthy flavor that is unique to ancho chili along with a little bit of tartness from rice vinegar. It's delicious with shrimp, fries or on grilled meat and burgers.

Recipe ingredients and notes:

I made this aioli with rice vinegar instead of lemon juice (the more common acidic aioli ingredient). The vinegar adds tartness without the intense citrus flavor of lemon and works great with the ancho chili flavor.

Mayonnaise, garlic, ancho chili powder and rice vinegar.

How to make it:

Ancho aioli ingredients in a glass bowl.
  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
