Ok,
I actually got motivated enough to get my ingredients, and throw a simple Chipotle / cream
cheese / onion / sour cream dip together. It turned out a little bit hotter than my
moderate tolerance might have liked, but not much, and that just means I might increase it a
little, right? ;-))) Sort of a C-H workout, if you will. I have my chips in hand, and am
doing a few "reps" right now. Now I know what all those fitness folks mean when they talk
about "feeling the burn". I used 8oz. of cream cheese, about 8 oz. of sour cream, maybe 1/5
of a medium onion (I should have used more, but didn't feel like cutting into a new one),
three small-ish Chipotles from the first can I bought, one larger one from the "La
Preferida" can I just recently bought, and enough of the extra adobo sauce from the first
can to "pinken" it up to what I thought looked right. It's pretty good, really, but I think
the extra onion would be a great benefit.
Now the question is, what do you guys do with the adobo left in the can after the
Chipotles are history??? I'm thinking it might make a good addition to barbecue sauce, and
we talked about tartar sauce already. So what are some other ideas? Keep in mind that we
don't really cook much, and I'm usually dining on microwavable dinners or frozen pizza... at
least on weeknights.
TIA,
