Chipotle Peppers

Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapeño chillies, a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The smoking process gives them their characteristic smoky aroma and deep, complex flavour with mild to medium heat. They are sold whole and dried, ground, or pickled in adobo sauce. They are used to flavour sauces, marinades, soups, burgers and bean dishes. They add a distinctive smoky depth that is highly popular in Mexican and American cooking. They are indispensable in recipes such as chipotle mayo, smoky BBQ sauce or tortilla fillings.
