Hatch Chili Dip

This a modification of a dip using Hatch chilis developed by Central Market. Hatch chilis come from Hatch New Mexico and have a flavor all their own--make as hot as you like.This recipe will use canned chilis but if you can find fresh or frozen substitute 3 mild and 2 hot- roasted, peeled, and seeded Hatch chilis. It's really better that way. Central Market sells massive amounts of fresh chilis in August.
