Chipotle chilies are dried Jalapeño peppers which have been smoked. These ones have been cooked in a tomato, onion, white vinager, ancho chili and herb sauce called 'adobo' which rehydrates the chilies and gives them their fantastic texture and characteristic aroma. They are deliciously smoky and sweet in flavour while being mildly hot. Widely used in Mexico and all over the world. We love them crushed in ketchup or mayonnaise and in refried beans. Extremely popular product. You will rarely use them all at once, so when you open them, store in a glass jar in the fridge. They will last for at least a year! One of my all time favourite chilies!
