Creamy Chipotle Sauce

I love to make simple tacos with a delicious sauce as an alternative to salsa.  This one packs a punch with the addition of chipotle peppers but it's not too hot and has just a little kick.  If you like things hotter feel free to add an additional chipotle but, be careful, those things can be hot!  I made this with my simple taco chicken recipe but feel free to make it with any taco meat you like.  Just be sure the meat you make isn't too spicy or your mouth will be on fire!  Enjoy!

Creamy Chipotle Sauce (adapted from thegardengrazer.com)

1 c. plain Greek yogurt (I used Fage total 0%)
1 chipotle in adobo sauce
2 small garlic cloves
1 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
1/8 t. cumin
1 t. salt

Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth.  Taste and adjust seasonings.  If the sauce is too thick add a little more lemon juice.  If it's too thin add a little extra Greek yogurt.
