Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeños, offering a distinctive smoky and moderately spicy flavor. These chilies have a wrinkled, reddish-brown appearance and a leathery texture. They deliver a complex heat, ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units, making chipotle peppers a versatile ingredient for adding depth and smoky heat to various dishes. Chipotle peppers are frequently ground into a powder for easy use or rehydrated and used whole or chopped.

Chipotle peppers are best stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Unopened cans or jars of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can be stored at room temperature until the expiration date. Once opened, transfer the remaining peppers and sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze the peppers individually on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag; they can be stored frozen for several months. Dried chipotle peppers should be stored in an airtight container away from heat and moisture to prevent them from becoming stale.
