Begin by taking your sour cream out of the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Open your can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Remove 2-3 peppers and chop them finely.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine your room-temperature sour cream, the chopped chipotle peppers, and a tablespoon of adobo sauce from the can. Add minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika.

Using a whisk or a fork, stir the mixture until everything is well combined.

Taste your sauce and adjust flavors as desired.

Transfer the sauce into a covered container and let it refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.

Your sauce is ready to serve! Use it as a dip or drizzle over your favorite dishes.
