Avocados are creamy and delicious and chipotles are smokey and earthy tasting.

Oh, it’s a wonderful combo!

I’ll admit I don’t use chipotle peppers often and when I do, I wonder why I don’t use them more. The flavor is always so familiar when I order food out and I thought it was about time I made an appetizer my friends and I could enjoy without having to leave the house….that had that great smokey flavor added to it.

I am a huge fan of delicious and filling appetizers. I love when the flavors are unforgettable and you can’t wait to have that item again. This is that kind of appetizer! Irresistible.

I’ve made egg rolls and wontons before if you need more appetizer ideas Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons, Corned Beef and Cabbage Egg Rolls, Texas Egg Rolls, Fried Spinach Ravioli with a Feta and Basil Dip, Balsamic Cheese Dip with Tortellini…. oh my goodness this appetizers list is making my mouth water!

Chipotle Dip

Ingredients

½ cup plain yogurt (I use greek yogurt)

1 T fresh cilantro chopped
3 Tablespoon salsa (prepared salsa, I use the fresh type you purchase in the refrigerated section if I don't have made salsa on hand)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
pinch of crushed red pepper (start with ¼ teaspoon, then add more if you prefer it spicier)
salt and pepper

Instructions

Place all ingredients into bowl or jar and blend with immersion blender alternatives you can use a food processor and blend until fairly smooth, it doesn't need to be super smooth.
