Eat more Chipotle/Adobo!


These are awesome in anything you want to have a spicy "Mexican" flavor. Be careful though, they are spicier than I imagined. If you are a fan of Chipotle Tabasco you will love this(seems obvious.) But yes, you can purchase it in Mexican grocery stores or many other stores with good international aisles. I know this isn't a recipe but I just wanted to share the wealth of a great product I have recently fell in love with.


Product Description via Amazon.com
(Smoked red jalapeño peppers in spices, vinegar, tomatoes and ancho chiles. (pronounced "chee-POHT-lay"). CHIPOTLE PEPPERS A chipotle pepper is a red Jalapeño chile, ripened, dried, and smoked through a special process. Derived from the Aztec word meaning smoke, jalapeños are placed over huge pits and smoke is blown through tunnels running underground. Chipotle Characteristics - A unique warm heat and smoky flavor , chipotles are packed in a red adobo sauce made from lightly seasoned tomato broth. Embasa chipotles are completely shielded from all the elements during processing to produce an exceptional product. Tan - brown, veined and ridged, they are 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) long and 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Medium-thick fleshed, with a subtle deep rounded heat, they are excellent in sauces, soups, and as a seasoning for meats and stews.)
