Healthy Chipotle Dip

fullsizerender-2

We opened this jar of chipotle chilis in adobo sauce and they were way spicier than we were expecting. We used one in a puree for our tamales but needed a way to use up the rest of the can so we created this yogurt sauce to tone it down but still get that amazing flavor and just enough heat.

  1. in a small food processor blend greek yogurt, chipotle pepper (add adobe sauce to taste) and cumin (to taste)
  2. then eat- great with our version of carnitas (a bit healthier) or any kind of tacos really

Beet Root, Goat Cheese Spread

My dad has a few favorite vendors at the farmers market that he loyally returns to. I suspect it has something to do with their levels of generosity with samples. One of them sells Middle Eastern style dips and salads. One of our favorites is a beet-goat cheese dip. I attempted to recreate it tonight and it came out pretty tasty. His is usually a smooth spread but I left mine a little more on the chunky side. It was great on some toasted hearty bread.

  • 2 lg beets
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup goat cheese
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1 slice of orange
  1. Scrub beets then wrap in 2 layers of foil and bake for an hour
  2. Unwrap them and let cool, then peel off skins
  3. Cut in chunks and throw in the food processor with yogurt, goat cheese, parsley and the juice of the orang
  4. Blend until desired consistency is reached
