Chipotles, are pieces of fully ripened and smoked dried jalapeno chili peppers. These flavorings originated in Mexico and have an important role in Mexican cuisine. Unlike whole peppers, chipotle chili pepper pieces have a dark brown color and a smoky, sweet flavor. They belong to the medium spicy chilies with a Scoville score of 3000 - 8000 SHU, similar to jalapeno chilies.
These peppers have a thick pericarp, which makes them difficult to dry whole. After picking the ripe jalapeno peppers, they are dried and smoked over burning hardwood. This traditional process can take several days and results in the distinctive smoky flavor of chipotles.
They have been used for centuries in a variety of dishes and contribute to the unique and authentic flavor of Mexican cuisine. They are often used in stews, salsas, tacos, enchiladas and other traditional Mexican dishes. The rich and complex flavor of chipotles has played an important role in Mexico's culinary traditions and is still used extensively in Mexican cuisine.
These convenient pieces of chipotle chilies can be easily added to your dishes without worrying about chopping hot peppers. They still offer the same smoky and sweet flavor so beloved, but with added convenience and safety while preparing your meals.
