Recipe Tips
- Ingredient Note: When a green jalapeño pepper ripens and turns red, it is traditionally smoked and dried, after which the name changes to chipotle pepper. Small cans of chipotle peppers packed in adobo sauce (similar to a BBQ sauce) are usually available in the canned pepper section of most grocery stores. Incredibly spicy and smoky in flavor, chipotle peppers can add delicious personality to your everyday meals.
