What is Chipotle Peppers?

Chipotle peppers are in fact smoked and dried red jalapeno peppers. The pepper gains a dark red color that is almost brown and because they are always dried, the chipotle has a crispy, crunchy texture, until ground into powder, or reconstituted with liquid. The flavor is earthy, smoky and hot. Chipotle peppers are popular in the Southwestern US and in Mexico, which makes it a common ingredient in Tex-Mex cuisine.

What does Chipotle Peppers Taste Like?

Ingredients

jalapeno

...Jalapeños are a popular hot pepper with a medium-width body that is short and tapered. These peppers have a shiny thin skin and are often picked while green, and not fully mature. When jalapeños mature they turn red, as do many hot peppers. The thin green flesh of the jalapeño is crispy, with a hint of juice and very hot. Jalapeños also have a mild green flavor and contain extremely spicy seeds in their centers. The uses vary widely and jalapeños can be found in hot sauce, salsa, guacamole, cornbread and more. They are almost always used fresh or pickled.
