Chipotle Peppers Just Smoke Dried Jalepenos?

Posted on Sep 15, 2013 in Healthy Eats, Ingredient Knowledge, Vegetarian Main Dishes | 2 comments

It took me years to realize that chipotles were an actual pepper that was extremely popular in Mexican cuisine and not a delicious fast food make your own burrito place. And then another few years to realize they were just smoke dried Jalepenos and not a super exotic pepper only grown in the deep mountains off the Mexican coast line. Who knew?  I love their smokey flavor and soft subtle heat that hits you slowly in the back of the mouth. So seductive.
