Chipotle Salsa

A taco stand favourite!

Many people think chipotle is a species of chilli, it’s actually just a jalapeño that’s been left unpicked until it ripens to a deep red, & then smoked dry. Although available dried, nowadays the most common way to buy chipotles is in a can, submerged in a rich ‘adobo’ sauce.
