Cream Cheese
with Smoked Chiles
1 pkg cream cheese
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 Tbs mayonnaise
3-4 chipotle
chile oil as needed
Cube the cream cheese and put it in a food processor with the garlic, mayonnaise and chipotle. As the mixture is being processed, drizzle in chile oil until the mixture takes on a creamy, easily spread consistency. The chipotle I use are usually packed in adobo sauce, so I use a fork to pick them out, but I don't take any special care in shaking or scraping of the sauce. This spread is excellent when spread onto celery sticks, dipped with carrots, as a substitute as a sandwich spread, as a substitute for sour cream with fajitas, breakfast burritos, etc, etc, etc.
