This is interesting...It has the texture of hummus but tastes like a smokey salsa. I think the chipotle overpowers most of the other flavors besides the lime and cilantro. I tried it with whole-grain tortilla chips but think it would be better in a Southwest type wrap or pita. Definately worth a try if you enjoy chipotle flavor. Made for the Zaar tag game.
