Chipotle is a smoked jalapeno pepper. (Pronounced chee-poht'-lay, not
chi-po-tel) It ends up having a very smoky taste which everyone but me
seems to find desirable nowadays. I love my meat smoked, but evidently not
my chiles. You can purchase them canned (en adobo) or dried. I've tried
both in a variety of ways (including sauces) but I continue to find them
nasty. The most palatable effort has been with squash.
For the record, I feel that cilantro is an acquired taste. Put me in that
"used to not like it now I can't get enough" category.
take care,
