I am all about pumpkin everything during these fall days! I'll take any opportunity I can to eat something pumpkin flavored! Crazy thing is, I used to think I didn't love pumpkin. I'm not big on pumpkin pie actually, but I tend to like most other things pumpkin-flavored.
This dip was no exception. Creamy, a bit sweet, and that comforting pumpkin flavor.
And I knew I wanted to make some apps for snacking during the Superbowl, so Chipotle Salsa only seemed right.
I'm not a huge fan of the jarred salsas. But homemade salsa has opened my eyes to the beauty of a good salsa.
Now I just gotta learn how to make it look all pretty and salsa-y. Next time we make this I'll be sure to take another picture as my salsa-photographing skills need some work. I think I need a new food processor, one that doesn't only hold like a cup of ingredientsand therefore doesn't really chop like it's supposed to. It's on the list.
1 can (14.5 oz) Hunt's fire roasted tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from a 7-oz can)
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
tortilla chips or Sour Cream and Onion Doritos for dipping
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently, until onion is soft. Add Roma tomatoes and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned tomatoes and chipotle chiles. Heat to boiling; then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
Place the salsa and cilantro in a food processor or blender. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until cilantro is finely chopped. Transfer to serving bowl. Serve salsa with tortilla chips.
Place first 6 ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth. Place bean mixture in a bowl. Stir in chopped tomato, and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds if desired. Printable Recipe
You can use this as a dip, or as a spread! After dipping tortilla chips and crackers in it, we had some leftover to spread onto flour tortillas for chicken tacos.
Mayyyyyyyybe don't use as many pumpkin seeds as I did. I went a bit overload.
It's like a must that I have some kind of fruit dip with my strawberries.
But Kroger charges so much for a tiny cup of theirs!
So one day I took a glance at the ingredient list on one of those cups and saw some strange words starting with x and z or something like that, but the main ingredients that stood out to me where marshmallow creme, sugar, and cream cheese. So to the internet I went!
I came across this super easy fruit dip recipe. 3 ingredients. Marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and cream cheese. Cha-ching!
