Description
Since 2023 Mexico has been experiencing severe droughts, this is affecting the production of red jalapenos which are smoked with pecan shells to make chipotles
This year is showing no signs of easing, most that are grown are being sold fresh for quick and easy supply, sadly the chipotle chilli may have an issue for the next few years
For now we are searching, can find lots of non pecan smoked jalapeno stock but nothing proper, if we find good proper stocks will be on sale again

Chipotle Chipotle Chipotle, this is by far my favourite chilli ever! and I have eaten a few
The Chipotle is flaked by drying - destemming and chopping, the chipotle flakes includes the seeds
Chipotle flakes like all flakes chilli is designed for quick easy use while providing a texture to your food, full flavour and aroma is the same whether its chipotle whole pods, chipotle powder or chipotle flakes
Chipotle is unique in the food world let alone chilli with its unique smoking process of using pecan shells to create a sweet nutty flavour
Jalapenos are used as the chilli base, allowed to mature to full red to provide a citrus sweet flavour
The jalapeno is smoked dried for a few days to create the wonderful chipotle
Chipotle means smoked pepper from the Aztecs making this drying process one of the oldest still in use today
Chipotle adds deep sweet smokey flavour to any food likes it just been cooked over an open flame, add to any dish from baked beans to lasagne let alone a variety of authentic Mexican cuisine

Each chipotle pod weighs approx 7g but will vary
The chipotle can be chopped up and used in any sauce, 5mins of simmering will soften the skin, release its wonderful smokey flavour and blend into the texture
To hydrate a chipotle prior to use please see our video here
A little warm water and 5-10mins the chipotle can be blended to make a paste and used as you wish
