INSTRUCTIONS
(*) or yogurt, or a combination Chipotle chiles are smoked dried
jalapenos. They most commonly come in cans, packed in a
tomoato-vinegar preparation called adobo sauce. A little bit of canned
chipotles-in-adobo goes a very long way, both in terms of heat and
powerful smoky essence. In this sauce, sour cream and/or yogurt create
a soothing, luxurious vehicle for the wild chipotle flavor. After you
open the can of chilies, and take out what you need, transfer the
remainder to a glass jar and store in tightly covered in the
refrigerator. MIX: Place the sour cream and or yogurt in a small bowl
and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon minced chipotle chiles
and let it sit for about 10 minutes, so the flavor can develop. Taste
to see if it needs more chipotles and adjust. Store in a tightly
covered container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature
before serving. Yield 1 cup; about 2 tablespoons per serving. Prep 5
mins. (with regular sour cream: about 6 g of fat; 62 cals) PER SERVING
as listed: 30 cals. Serve whenever it seems apprpriate - eggs, beans,
rice ,cornmeal. Drizzle onto soups. Expecially good on Chili Stews,
friend green tomaoteos and on corn griddle cakes. Recipe by: Mollie
