Chipotle Dip

Start by adding the sour cream to a small mixing bowl.

Take out 1 or 2 chipotle peppers from the can and place on a cutting board. You can always start with one and do a taste test to see if you need the second one. I like things a little milder, so I add the peppers gradually. And depending on how hot you like things, you can slice it open and take the seeds out (more mild) or just leave it as is (hot!). I always take the seeds out.

Dice the pepper into very tiny pieces. I dice it a couple of different ways, so that it’s almost paste like.

Add the diced pepper to the bowl of sour cream, along with about a tablespoon of the sauce from the can. Again, you can add more or less to suit your taste.

Mix everything together.

Taste it to see if you want it spicier. You can add more sauce, more pepper, or both.

*Be warned, the longer it sits, the more intense the flavor gets, so you may want to let it come together for a while before adding more heat.

Serve with chips, crackers, or any other dipper you like!

**Wash your hands VERY well after handling the peppers! Don’t rub your eyes, unless you like to learn the hard way!
