Ingredients

  • 1 small baking pumpkin
  • Olive oil

  • 1 package cream cheese, cubed
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with chiles
  • 2 canned chipotle chiles, minced
  • 2 tsp. adobo sauce
  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat grill to medium-high
  2. To make the pumpkin puree, cut the pumpkin in half stem-to-stem, discarding stem and scooping out seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and season lightly with sea salt.
  3. Place cut side-down on a grill-safe baking sheet or rack, roasting for about 45 minutes or until flesh is soft. Cool until pumpkin can be safely handled, then scoop out the flesh and blend in a food processor.
  4. To make the dip, in a large grill-safe pot add ½ cup pumpkin puree and remaining ingredients. Heat over medium-high grill with the cover closed, opening just to stir as the ingredients melt together.
