I adore this appetizer for a few reasons: 1) its simplicity, and 2) the contrast of the cooling cucumber slices with the rich heat of the chipotle cream.  It’s easy, just top slices of cucumber with a mixture of tangy sour cream mixed with a bit of chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce.  These small bites do pack some heat, so don’t forget to have a cool cocktail on hand as well!
