: a smoked and usually dried jalapeño pepper

This condiment is one of my trusty staples that I keep on hand for a dash of pizzazz. It’s one of those key ingredients that can make any meal delicious. If ya’ wanna know a wee little secret, I kind of pride myself on being able to make a fantastic meal when it seems there is nothing in the refrigerator. And this Chipotle Paste is one of my secret weapons! Plus, it keeps for 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator and longer if you freeze it.

So let's talk about the glorious smokiness of the morita, or dried chipotle chile. A chipotle is a red jalapeño that has been smoked and dried over the course of several days. As you can imagine, this process creates a dried pepper packed with seductive smoky undertones. When you open up a package that is filled with dried chipotles, you'll get a big nose full of it. It's pretty delightful.
