Pantry guide
Best Chipotle for home cooking
What Chipotle is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The jalapeño after fire: smoke, sweet heat, and the taste of a salsa that has been thinking overnight.
Rehydrate dried chipotles and blend, or pull a canned one from the adobo and mash it into mayonnaise, beans, or a braise. One pepper is a seasoning. Three is a different dish.
If you only have powder, use less than you think. Smoke concentrates. It can taste like an ashtray if you are generous and late.
