Dried Chipotle Meco is a real flavor bomb from Mexican cuisine. This particular pepper is a smoked and dried jalapeño. They are slow and prolonged smoked over wood fire until they acquire a distinctive deep brown color and intense smoky aroma. The Meco variety, also called Chipotle café, is lighter in color and has a richer, woody flavor than the Chipotle Morita or Smoked Chipotle. Because they are smoked even longer, they take on a more intense flavor.
That longer smoking process makes all the difference. This gives the Meco an intensely smoky character with complex flavor nuances reminiscent of mushrooms, whiskey and even a subtle touch of truffle. The taste is very rich, earthy and deeply layered, with a mildly spicy, fruity and smoky flavor.
In Mexico, the Chipotle Meco is widely used to add more depth and spiciness to stews, sauces, and meat dishes.
Preparation:
– Toast the dried peppers in a dry pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This releases their essential oils and brings out more flavor. Then, soak the dried peppers in hot water. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes, then slice or chop them to your desired size.
– Grind the dried peppers into flakes or powder.

To keep dried chili peppers fresh for a long time, store them in an airtight container in your pantry or, even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposing them to air, moisture, light, and heat, as this can cause them to discolor, mold, and lose flavor.
Dried peppers last a long time, but for the best flavor and heat, try to use them within a year. Click here for more info on storing and freezing dried chili peppers.
