Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapeño peppers, known for their rich, smoky flavor and moderate heat. These dark, wrinkled peppers add a deep, earthy complexity to dishes, making them a popular choice in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Chipotle peppers are often sold dried or canned in adobo sauce, which enhances their tangy and slightly sweet undertones. Their robust flavor profile makes them a versatile ingredient for adding depth to marinades, sauces, and stews.

Store chipotle peppers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place if they are dried. For canned or jarred chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, refrigerate them after opening in a sealed container and use within 1-2 weeks. You can also freeze them in small portions for longer storage, ensuring they retain their flavor and usability for up to 6 months.
