   Meanwhile, in a mortar and pestle, combine garlic with a pinch of salt and work into a paste. In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic paste, lime zest, egg yolk, lime juice, mustard, and chili powder. Whisking constantly, drizzle in canola and extra-virgin olive oils in a slow, steady stream to form a thick, emulsified sauce. Season aioli with salt and pepper. Alternatively, using a blender, blend garlic with egg yolk, lime juice, mustard, and chili powder; then drizzle in canola oil in a thin, steady stream until a thick, emulsified sauce forms. Whisk in olive oil (do not add olive oil in blender) and season with salt and pepper.
