What Makes Chipotle Chipotle
Chipotle chiles are smoke-dried jalapeño peppers. While most jalapeños used in cooking are picked before they are ripe (i.e. when they are still green), those to be made into chipotle are left on the plant until the very end of the growing season when they have turned a deep red and naturally lost much of their moisture. They are then smoked in a sealed chamber for several days to give them their characteristic rich, smoky flavor.
Chipotle chiles’ hotness is related to the hotness of the pre-smoked jalapeño, which ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 units on the Scoville Heat Scale.
Chipotle Chile Products
The Chile Guy’s chipotle selection includes two varieties:
- Morita—the more common chipotle variety from chiles grown in northern Mexico. Morita means “mulberry” in Spanish, fitting for the purple-hued chiles.
- Meco—a rare chipotle in the US from chiles grown in the southern and central regions of Mexico. Meco chipotle has a grey or brown hue.
