1
Start by adding the sour cream to a small mixing bowl.
-
2
Take out 1 or 2 chipotle peppers from the can and place on a cutting board.
-
3
You can always start with one and do a taste test to see if you need the second one.
-
4
I like things a little milder, so I add the peppers gradually.
-
5
And depending on how hot you like things, you can slice it open and take the seeds out (more mild) or just leave it as is (hot!).
-
6
I always take the seeds out.
-
7
Dice the pepper into very tiny pieces.
-
8
I dice it a couple of different ways, so that its almost paste like.
-
9
Add the diced pepper to the bowl of sour cream, along with about a tablespoon of the sauce from the can.
-
10
Again, you can add more or less to suit your taste.
-
11
Mix everything together.
-
12
Taste it to see if you want it spicier.
-
13
You can add more sauce, more pepper, or both.
-
14
*Be warned, the longer it sits, the more intense the flavor gets, so you may want to let it come together for a while before adding more heat.
-
15
Serve with chips, crackers, or any other dipper you like!
-
16
**Wash your hands VERY well after handling the peppers!

Dont rub your eyes, unless you like to learn the hard way!
