Chipotle Chile Peppers, Morita

A few years ago most people north of Mexico had never even heard of a chipotle pepper. Today we find it blended into aioli, roughing up our Bloody Marys at brunch, and neatly tucked into custardy omelettes. Smoky, sultry, spicy… who doesn’t love chipotle morita chiles?

Chiles
Chipotles are smoke-dried jalapeño peppers, with the morita variety being the most well-known (the brown chipotle variety being the other). The morita variety of chipotle is smoked for just a few days until a leathery consistency is achieved. The chilies are then lightly toasted over an open flame or a flat grill top, reconstituted in water, and added to dishes to add a medium-level of heat and a desired smokey flavor that just screams Tex-Mex barbeque. Indeed, no barbecue sauce is complete without a morita.
