Made with only 4 simple ingredients, this chipotle cashew dip is incredibly easy-to-make and delicious! A perfect veggie and chip dip or topping to tacos, burritos, and more. 

I’ll admit, my husband was the main motivator in publishing this recipe. He is obsessed with this cashew dip! He has always suggested packaging and selling it because it’s just that good. Well, no need to sell it because I’m giving it over to YOU for free (I know, I know... I’m too kind). 

But seriously, you need to try this chipotle cashew dip and see if you don’t become as obsessed as my husband is. Enjoy with chips, veggies, potatoes, tacos, and more - it’s so versatile!  

The best way to eat it in my opinion is on top of my Chipotle burrito bowl copycat recipe. Cilantro lime rice, sofritas, fajita veggies, and this addicting chipotle dip on top. YUM!

To get started making this cashew dip recipe, all you need is 4 simple ingredients and a high-powered blender or food processor. Within 5 minutes, you’ll have a dip the whole family will LOVE!

Ways To Eat This Addicting Chipotle Cashew Dip

- As a dipping sauce for veggies, potatoes, or chips

- Added to tacos, burritos, tostadas, or salads

What You’ll Need For This Recipe

High-powered blender or food processor - This is a necessity to make this dip really smooth, otherwise it comes out a bit chunky. 

Roasted, unsalted cashews - You can buy raw cashews and roast them yourself or simply use raw cashews in place (it just doesn’t give it quite the same taste).

Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - This is a must! I never knew what to use these delicious peppers for until this sauce recipe. Now I can’t imagine not having chipotle peppers in adobo sauce on hand at all times. 

Cane or brown sugar - I personally prefer using brown sugar but you can also use cane sugar or even a sugar substitute like monk fruit sweetener or swerve.

How To Make Chipotle Cashew Dip

Soak the cashews for 8-10 hours OR quick-soak them for 10 minutes in boiling water.

Then, add them to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. 

Add the rest of your ingredients and process to combine.
