Recipe by:

"This recipe was inspired by a dip I tasted in Tucson, AZ. It has a spicy flair and tastes great with salty chips and crunchy bell peppers. Be sure to use chipotle (don't use other types of dried chile pepper) for that authentic Southwest flavor. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo!"

My boyfriend really, really loves this dip. I have made this a few times and I always use canned chipotles in adobe sauce rather than chipotle powder. It's great with chips and veggies.
