- Drain one 4-ounce can of pimentos and finely chop them.
- Finely chop 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Combine the grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chopped pimentos, chipotle pepper, and 1/2 cup mayonnaise in a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.
- With the food processor running, slowly add an additional 1/4 cup of mayonnaise if needed to reach your desired consistency.
