Recipe Notes
Chipotle in adobo are a great spice to have on hand. They are a smoky pepper and while it doesn’t take much for many people to be satisfied with the heat level, they are milder and many will want more for their dish. Start slowly and add carefully so there’s enough spice but the flavors of all the other ingredients still come through.
You can freeze chipotles in adobo by dividing one or two between Ziplock bags or small containers.
