    Chipotle Tahini

    Oh hey! Just me again, sitting here with my bowl of silky smooth chipotle tahini, pouring it all over everything.

    Do you remember chipotle tahini from a few months ago? Yeah, THAT chipotle tahini.

    Let’s revisit it for just a second.

    It is a 5-ingredient magic trick: olive oil and tahini make that impossibly creamy base, garlic and chipotles make it taste good, and a little bit of orange juice seals the deal with a little bit of sunshiney-ness.

    Put the whole gang in there:

    And out comes chipotle tahini:

    What you could put this on is anyone’s guess.

    But I would suggest any and all of the following:

    • roasted potatoes
    • grilled chicken
    • grilled shrimp
    • green salads
    • cold salads
    • hardboiled eggs
    • flatbread
    • grain bowls
    • raw vegetable dippers
    • French fries just sayin

    It’s slightly thick, slightly sweet, smokey, and has that rich, semi-fancy tahini flavor to make you feel all grown up about your life.
