Cream Cheese With Smoked Chiles

  • 1 package cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 3 chipotle -- up to 4
  • chile oil as needed

    Cube the cream cheese and put it in a food processor with the garlic, mayo 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 into 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.
