I use Chipotle peppers which are canned smoke jalapenos.
Start by making a pesto with one 7 oz can of chipotles, one teaspoon granulated garlic and enough Red Hot to make a smooth paste in a blender. Mix about 1-3 teaspoons into 1/2 pound of sour cream and let sit for a few hours. Add in some chopped canned jalapenos if you want more color or texture. Also works with cream cheese.
I use the pesto mixed with black beans for a dip two. A can of beans in the blender with a teaspoon or two is a very quick and easy dip. I usually make the pesto and make the bean dip from what I can't scrape out of the blender. It seems to keep for a long time in the fridge from the vinegar in the red hot.
You can also add the pesto to wing sauce to bump it up a notch, but be careful-- it is very hot just by itself.
Serves 3-4
2 cups oaxacan cheese
1/5 cup diced jalapenos
1/5 cup diced tomato
1/5 cup olives
Melt cheese on low heat, throw in tomatos, jalapenos, olives before cheese is melted. Mix. Remove from heat when melted. Serve with tortilla chips.
