Chipotle and Lime Egg Salad (a.k.a Deviled Egg Dip)

Chipotle and Lime Egg Salad with spicy smoky heat and a tangy bite of lime was a spur of the moment creation this past weekend. My boys requested deviled eggs as part of our appetizers for a movie night and my middle son was excited to help me make them. Unfortunately, the eggs were falling apart by the time he had them all peeled. I decided to turn them into a deviled egg dip that we could eat with crackers or chips.

Naturally, I couldn't just leave that idea alone. The next thing I knew, I was grabbing a couple of chipotle peppers from the freezer^[1] and juicing a lime. We all enjoyed this dip; but honestly, I was the one who just couldn't get enough of it. I set aside a bit of it for my lunch the next day and my oldest son begged to share it with me. I'm going to make this again for sandwiches the next time I make bread. I think it will be delicious mixed into a chopped salad as well.
