Pronounced "chi-POHT-lay" Chipotle peppers are indigenous to Mexico and they've become almost synonymous in this country with our fairly recent infatuation with “chiles”. Chile peppers are most often recognized for their spicy hotness, but when used in correct amounts, they can also be a bit mild while adding layers of subtle flavor to dishes.

Chipotle chiles are actually completely ripened jalapenos that are then smoke dried. For each pound of dried Chipotles it started out as 10 pounds of fresh jalapeno peppers. The end result is a dark brown to black colored, wrinkled pepper that has a smoky, somewhat sweet chocolaty aroma and flavor. And these whole Chipotle chile peppers are considered a medium heat chile and come it at 5,000 - 10,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units). For a more subtle heat you can remove the seeds and stems prior to using.

Originally Chipotle chiles were most commonly used to flavor salsas, stews and soups but now this popular flavor has found its way into everything from fried chicken to chips. Your recipe may call for the chipotle chiles to be lightly toasted (or roasted) and this really brings out the flavor in them. We have also had some recipes calling for them to be lightly fried in oil or even burnt black. You can rehydrate them by soaking in hot water for about 20 minutes.

Chipotle chiles are excellent with beef, chicken and pork chops and one of our favorite recipes is Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie. 

There are approximately 9 chiles per ounce.

This particular Chipotle is considered a Chipotle "Morita" Chile. We also carry a Chipotle "Meco" Chile which is smoked for a longer time the "Morita" and is general considered to be of a slightly higher quality chile by serious chileheads.


We also carry a variety of other dried peppers – Habanero Chiles, Ancho Chiles, Pasilla Chiles, Birdseye Chiles, Guajillo Chiles, Aji Amarillo Chiles, Cascabel Chiles, California Chiles, New Mexico Chiles and the world's hottest pepper the Ghost Chile.

We also offer Chipotle Powder and Chipotle Flakes. And if you are partial to dry rubs for the grill then be sure to check out our top selling Chipotle Rub.

I've been using these dried chiles in my chili powder blends. The quality is much better than anything I can find locally and the packaging is far superior as well.

i eat a lot of chiles, both fresh and dried. these are a "can't do without" in my kitchen. i go through pounds of these. they are the mainstay in my home made sauces and salsas. in traditional latin-american cooking, dried chiles are toasted in an iron pan (comal) before using. pliability is an important factor when toasting them. in a properly dried chile, the moisture content needs to still be high enough that when you toast them the residual moisture causes the chile to puff back up. this makes it easy to split the chile and remove the seeds and membranes. this is important if you remove these to tame the heat, but also if (like me) you want to toast the seeds to add back to dishes. trying to toast or remove the seeds from an overly dried chile is an exercise in futility. i live 45 miles from mexico, and i can get just about any chile locally. however, getting dried chiles that are not overly dried, and are still pliable is not always easy. these from spicesinc. are consistently the best moritas i've found in terms of correct dryness, quality, and size.

These were perfect for the recipe I was making (my own southwestern spice rub) Furthermore, they are so FRESH - another reviewer was correct, cannot find this in the grocery store.

I'm definitely not a chile expert, but the chipotles I received from SpicesInc.com were extremely fresh and fragrant - they added the perfect amount of smoky spiciness to the braised pork I was cooking. I had purchased dried chipotles from the grocery store before I discovered SpicesInc, and the grocery store peppers were terrible (no flavor or aroma) compared to the spices inc peppers. Price-wise the two are about even, but the SpicesInc products that I have tried are far superior in terms of quality. Great customer service and fast shipping, too!
