Chipotle, chili flakes

Chipotle is a smoky chili from Chihuahua, Mexico. It's made from medium-hot jalapeño peppers that are rated between 2,500 and 10,000 points on the Scoville scale.

These chilies are grown to full maturity until they darken to a dark brown color and form folds. The chili is then dried for several days in fire ovens. The result is a flavorful combination of quality peppers and smoke, and is typically used in sauces, salads, and marinades.
