2. Cook’s Tip on Chipotle Peppers

   Step 2

   Chipotle peppers are dried jalapeños that are smoked to provide a unique heat. These flavorful chiles often are canned in adobo sauce, also known as adobo paste, a moderately spicy mixture of chiles, vinegar, garlic, and herbs. Dried chipotles also are sold in packages. To rehydrate them, put the desired number of chiles in a bowl of boiling water. Let stand for 20 minutes. Drain and use as directed above. You may want to keep the soaking water to spice up soup or beans.
