Chipotle Bruschetta

• Choose a good quality olive oil for the best flavor.
• Make sure to finely chop the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce to ensure even distribution throughout the bruschetta.

• Substitute avocado for chipotle chilies in adobo sauce. This substitution will provide a milder flavor and creamy texture, while still adding a hint of smokiness.
• Substitute feta cheese for monteray jack cheese or mozzarella. This substitution will add a salty, tangy flavor that will contrast the smoky flavor of the chipotle chilies.
