McCormick Chipotle Chile Pepper, Ground 16oz 453g
McCormick Ground Chipotle Chile Pepper is made from fully ripened jalapeño peppers that are smoked and dried before being finely ground. Chipotle chiles are not a separate variety of pepper; they are jalapeños that have been smoke-dried, which gives them their distinctive dark brown color, wrinkled appearance, and pronounced smoky aroma.
Ground chipotle chile pepper delivers a unique combination of smoky, slightly sweet, and savory flavor with moderate heat. The smoking process adds depth and richness, making chipotle more complex than standard chili powders or cayenne-style heat.
Chipotle chile pepper is commonly used to season grilled or roasted meats, poultry, and seafood. It blends well into soups, stews, sauces, salsas, barbecue sauces, marinades, and salad dressings. It is also used in Mexican and Southwestern cooking, as well as in rubs, compound butters, and sauces where a smoky heat is desired.
Because chipotle has both heat and smoke character, it should be used thoughtfully. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering other flavors.
