Chipotle powder is made from ripe jalapeño peppers that are smoked over a wood fire and then ground into a coarsely textured powder. This process imparts a rich, earthy, smoky, and spicy flavor that has long been cherished in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Ideal for adding depth to barbecues, stews, chilis, and a range of sauces and marinades, chipotle powder enhances your dishes with its distinctive kick.
