Ingredients

1 cup ranch dressing
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspooon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1-3 tablespoons chipotles in adobo sauce Start with 1 tablespoon. Taste repeatedly and adjust as necessary.

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a jar or bowl. Stir until creamy.
You can use a food processor or blender if you want to smooth out the chipotles. I like the texture of the dressing without blending.

Notes

You can substitute chipotles in adobo sauce for your favorite hot sauce. You can also use fresh tomatoes and smoked paprika (season to your taste).
