Chipotle peppers are smoked, dried jalapeño peppers, and as such they share the same medium-level heat as jalapeños (2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units.) It’s a popular chili pepper variety in both Mexico and North America and growing fast in favor across the globe because of its smoky, earthy flavor.

• If you like spicy foods and love the smoky tang of barbecue, Mexican food, and Tex-Mex cuisine, then the chipotle pepper should be a staple in your kitchen.

• There are two types of chipotle, the meco and the morita, and each has its own unique look, flavor, and use case.

• Morita chili is also sometimes called "chipotle colorado," "mora chile," and "black dash red chile." And they have a flavor that is full and fruity, with tobacco and chocolate tones.
