Ingredients notes:
Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce – I used canned ones because I wanted to add a little more sauce to this recipe to bring out the exact smoked flavor in it. Moreover, it is convenient as well to use the canned ones.
Cumin powder – this compliments the smoky taste and aroma.
Onion powder – this enhances the subtle smoked flavor.
Garlic powder – in the original vegan mayo I used dried garlic and here I used garlic powder and they both have their roles to enhance the final taste of this recipe.

Chipotle mayo and chipotle aioli are both creamy and zesty and works the same. They have the same ingredients too. So, they are the same things. But traditional aioli and mayo are both creamy but have distinct different flavors because aioli is made from olive oil and garlic and mayo is made with eggs and canola oil.
