Living in Southern California means Mexican food is just a natural and valued part of our diet. I bet most of us eat Mexican food at least once a week. In our home, it's more like 3-4 times a week. Chipotle pepper is a prominent flavor in many Mexican dishes, so it was only natural to go with a blend in that direction. Chipotle is a very distinct, smokey flavor, and if you are a Mexican food fan, you might find it to your liking. Chipotle pepper is actually a jalapeno that has been left on the vine to ripen until it turns red. Then it is smoked and dried. Its got a bit of heat, but in this blend, it's not overwhelming.
You can use it on any meats or fish that you want to add a little Mexican flair to. You can also add it to your favorite chili recipe, black bean soup, or tortilla soup. It's also a great addition to sauces, mayo or aioli, guacamole or dressings. Mix with olive oil and you have a savory Mexican marinade!
Like all of the DAD'S SECRET SPICE line, Chipotle is based on the DAD'S SECRET SPICE ORIGINAL RECIPE.
