As general background, a chipotle is a smoke-dried ripe jalapeño chili pepper used for seasoning, mainly in Mexican and Mexican-inspired cooking, including Tex-Mex dishes. Commonly, cooks add ground chipotle to dry rubs for chicken, beef and lamb, stir it into salsas, bean dishes, chilli and tomato sauces, blend it with mayonnaise or sour cream for a smoky dip, and dust it over roasted vegetables, popcorn and fries. Commonly, start with a small amount and build up.
