Chipotle is highly iconic in Mexican cuisine, mainly the reason why a wide variety of Mexican products include them as a special ingredient while at the same time being distributed by itself. The Chipotle pepper is a red jalapeño that has gone to through the smoking and drying process. This gives the chipotle that oaky, smoked warm heat that mixes perfectly with almost any type of dish. At the final stage, it has a brown-reddish aspect with a strong spicy aroma and complex taste. Chipotles usually can be purchased canned or in bulk at many stores and markets in Mexico.
