Chipotle is a jalapeno all grown-up, ripened, smoked, and slightly shriveled. You can buy them dried, but I prefer the canned chipotle in a spiced tomato sauce called adobo.
It’s the secret to my spicy lime mayo that I serve with my chipotle orange shrimp and a delight for anyone who appreciates the heat, depth, and tang that chilies bring to the meal.
Ways to Enjoy Chipotle
- Chipotle pairs well with lime and orange: toss citrus segment along with chipotle in your seafood salad or to top grilled chicken
- Blend with low-fat sour cream for a killer chili topping
- Add a teaspoon of adobo sauce along with 1/2 chili to your Bloody Mary recipe
- Fold chopped chipotle into your corn bread batter
