Recipe::. Spicy Chipotle Dip

This post starts a series in which I review all (or most of) the recipes that I used for our 5th Annual Cocktail party last Saturday. This is a SUPER easy and yummy dip! Be careful about the adobo sauce (4th ingredient down)... this is what causes the recipe to be spicy (well, that along with the chipotle peppers, cajun, cumin, chili, etc... I'm just warning you to go easy on the chipotle sauce)
