Creamy Roasted Hatch Chile Dip


It's late summer and the grocery stores in central Texas are filled with Hatch chiles. I just love the distinctive flavor of these spicy peppers from New Mexico!
What you need:
  • 2-3 roasted Hatch green chiles, seeded
  • 1 brick of cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1/4 cup milk (add more milk to make salad dressing)
  • juice from a lime
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt to taste
What you do:
Toss all ingredients in your blender.

Pulse until mixture is smooth.

Enjoy!

PS-
It's easy to roast chiles! Place them under the broiler. The skin will blister and turn black (burnt&black= yummy). Turn the peppers to blister all sides. Place them in a plastic or paper bag for 15 minutes. Remove the skins (I'm strange and like the blackend skins so I keep them on).
