Chipotle Peppers - Information and Spice Variations

Chipotle Peppers

Chipotle (chip-oat-lay) peppers are smoked, dried Jalapeño chiles. The Spice House offers two varieties of dried Chipotle chiles: Morita and Meco. The Moritas, available whole and ground, are a smaller chile with a dark red and black color. They have a delicious fruity aroma that belies their surprising heat level. The Meco are larger in size and have a light brown hue. They are smokier and less fruity than the moritas, with nutty, leathery notes that blend well with strong flavors.

You can say this for ready-mixes - the next generation isn't going to have any trouble making pies exactly like mother used to make.
