McCormick Mayonesa Recipe (Copycat Mexican Mayonesa con Limón)
Description
A creamy, tangy, lime-kissed Mexican mayonnaise that tastes just like the bottle — ready in 5 minutes with pantry staples. Perfect for elote, tacos, sandwiches, and more.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, about 1–2 limes
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, optional
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and lime zest.
- Add the sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk until completely smooth and uniform.
- Taste and adjust — more lime for tang, more sugar or salt for balance. Whisk in water a teaspoon at a time if you want a thinner, pourable consistency.
- Transfer to an airtight container or squeeze bottle and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Store up to 1 week in the fridge.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Notes
- Makes 1 cup
- Fresh lime juice is key for authentic flavor — skip the bottled stuff if you can.
- Let it rest in the fridge before serving; the flavor deepens noticeably after 30 minutes.
- Use it as a base for spicy, herby, or sweet variations to keep things interesting.
