- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce , depending on how hot you like it - I used 2 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon tahini - or cashew butter or almond butter (I have used all three at one time or another and I don't want you to go out and buy tahini for one tablespoon.

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions

- No need to pre-grind anything. It all blends together perfectly.
- Turn off the processor and scrape the sides a couple of times during processing.
- That is it.
- This recipe is simple to double or triple so buy ingredients according to how much dip you will need. This makes about 2 cups
Notes
IF FREEZING: Package in rigid sided containers. TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING: Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator overnight because it is a pretty solid mass and will take longer to defrost. Stir before serving with crackers and/or veggies.

August 22, 2017 at 9:48 pmI’m a fan of Chipotle adobo as well. Take away my fancy spices as long as I get to keep my chipotles in adobo. They’re complicated enough to use as a solo seasoning but friendly enough to play well with others.

July 9, 2014 at 7:07 pmI know just what you mean with stocking up on certain ingredients when you find them. I had no idea they were a little hard to find in Canada. I have been using them a lot this year too. Thank so much for your kind works!
