White Bean Chipotle Dip

When I found THIS RECIPE I knew it was one I needed to make sooner rather than later and NYE was just the occasion to test it out. In 5 minutes (I kid you not) you have have a healthy appetizer that packs some serious heat. Paired with tortilla chips or crackers, this spread would go great on a pita with some veggies for a nice, light lunch.
