I got a bottle of Bufalo Chilpotle (2 L's) from Mexico City and a bottle of Bufalo Chipotle (1 L) from California. Same stuff, same company, different spellings depending on origin. JB >> Interesting theory. Upon further examination, both cans are products of Mexico. The can spelled with one l is distributed by a company in Texas, the can with two l's is distributed by a company in California. This still doesn't answer my question as to which one I should open to mix with my cream cheese, which is softening as we type. Now, anyone got a Christmas variety? (That would be one with no l.)
