How to Make a Really Good Chipotle Dip

A chipotle is a smoked jalapeno pepper that has a unique hot, sweet, and smoky flavor. Jalapeno pepper growers looking to grow for production of chipotle's tend to leave the pepper on the vine until it is a deep red color and has begun to dry. Smoking the peppers are what gives the chipotle its characteristic flavor.

The peppers are usually smoked for several days until the pepper is almost completely dry..

Making a really good chipotle dip at home is a simple and easy task. It will be very easy for you to create your own family tradition from the basic example listed below.

Ingredients:

8 ounces of fresh chipotle peppers. Avoid the canned chipotle peppers. They usually have way to much salt and MSG in them to be a good choice for a really good chipotle dip. Try and get a no name brand as they are the same quality as any brand name will be. Never pay for a name when you can be paying for more food when making a really good chipotle dip.

1 cup of mayonnaise. Again I always use a store brand or no name brand to save money when making a really good chipotle dip.

1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish

1 cup of sour cream.

1 large clove of fresh garlic

4 ounces of minced onion.

1 / 4 tablespoon of lime juice. A wedge of fresh lime is excellent for this.

Directions:

Chop your chipotle peppers and garlic finely. Add the mayonnaise and mix for a couple seconds for your really good chipotle dip. Then add your sour cream, horseradish, minced onion, lime juice and mix thoroughly. Scoop out of the mixer and place in the bowl you intend to serve your really good chipotle dip. Chill for at least four hours.

Really good chipotle dip is best served with crackers, thick chips or veggie strips while chilled. You may want to sit your serving bowl on a bed of ice chips to keep it cool during your event. It makes a excellent party dip or luncheon appetizer. Try a scoop of really good chipotle dip on your next baked potato for an amazing taste treat.
