Chipotles w adobo

Description

Chipotles in adobo are smoked jalapeño peppers immersed in a thick, aromatic adobo sauce made from tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, and spices. They have a dark brown color with a sticky glaze and a distinct, smoky, slightly sweet-and-sour, and moderately spicy flavor profile that adds depth and character to dishes. Nutritionally, they are low in calories, providing vitamins A and C as well as compounds like capsaicin, which may support metabolism and have a mild anti-inflammatory effect. They are typically used in sauces, marinades, soups, stews, salsas, mayonnaise, and meat and vegetable dishes when you want to add a smoky-spicy note. Store in the refrigerator after opening in an airtight container, submerged in sauce; they stay fresh for about 2–3 weeks, and can be frozen or portioned into ice cubes for longer storage.
