Wasabe Chipotle Crema

Do Japanese like Tex-Mex food?  The Southwest meets Japan in this smokey, piquant sauce, wonderful for grilled meat or fish.  Add enough wasabe until "it goes up your nose'!
1/4 cup good real mayonnaise
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp wasabe paste
1 tsp dried chipotle chili flakes (see Cook’s Note)
1 clove garlic, pressed through a garlic press
juice of half a lime

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Allow flavors to meld at least 30 minutes.

Cook’s Note: I use Whole Food’s Dried Chipotle flakes to get that smokey chipotle flavor, without having to open a whole can of chipotle peppers. But if you have canned peppers opened and ready, you could certainly use them - maybe a Tablespoon, chopped.
