How to Make Creamy Chipotle Dip

  1. Add 2-4 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (depending on desired heat level) to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  2. Finely chop 1/2 cup of green onions.
  3. In a medium-sized non-reactive bowl, combine the pureed chipotles, chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days) to allow flavors to meld and the dip to chill completely. This step enhances the creamy texture and flavor profile.
  5. Pour the dip into a serving bowl. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) for extra visual appeal and flavor.
  6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, bell pepper strips, carrot sticks, celery sticks, or crackers.
  7. Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups
