What is chipotle? It’s a dried and smoked Jalapeno pepper. Evidence suggests that chipotles originated in Mexico and predate the Aztecs. Smoking the jalapeno was a way to preserve them. Chipotles are sold in three forms: whole, ground into a powder, and canned in adobo sauce (The sauce is made of tomatoes, garlic, salt, vinegar, and other spices). They are liked for their rich smoked flavor that goes well with the heat of the jalapeno. Remember that peppers (generally) have several health benefits. The chipotle has become a popular ingredient in restaurants across the country. And don’t forget that there is the Chipotle Mexican grill.
