Chipotle Chiles

By

Chipotle chiles are smoked jalapenos that are sold dried or canned in adobo sauce. The canned variety in particular is packed with a lot of flavor but very little fat, so the chilies are perfect for healthy cooking. Puree a can and keep it in the refrigerator to have on hand for adding smoky, pickled heat to beans, soups and stews; for stirring into mayonnaise to spread on sandwiches; or for adding spice and depth to any fresh or jarred salsa. A few tablespoons of this complex chili puree go a long way toward seasoning dishes like meatless black bean chili.
