Description

A Chipotle is a dried and smoked red Jalapeño pepper. They're famous for their spicy, sweet, and smoky aroma and flavor. Since the Jalapeños are fully ripened, they have extra flavor and are sweeter than fresh green Jalapeños. The word Chipotle comes from Nahuatl (an indigenous language in Mexico) and means 'smoked chili pepper.' It's a super well-known and essential ingredient in Mexican cuisine.

A tasty and simple dish is smokey Chipotle mayonnaise! You can make your own mayo or buy some ready-made, then just add a bit of ground Chipotle and garlic. The result is a delicious, slightly spicy, sweet mayonnaise. Chipotle mayo is awesome with a burger, fries, or just as a dip!

Preparation
– First, toast the dried peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This helps release their essential oils and brings out more flavor. Next, rehydrate the dried peppers with hot water. Let them soak in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then slice or chop them to your desired size.
– You can also 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.

    Super versatile and absolutely delicious! They've got a great smoky flavor and give a nice kick without being overwhelmingly spicy. I mostly use them to make sauces, and that smoky goodness is also amazing with a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
