Store chipotles in a cool, dry and dark place. You can rehydrate chipotles by placing them in warm water for an hour to soften them. This will let you dice them up for any dish you want to add them too.

Alternatively you can grind up the dried chipotles to make a chipotle chili powder. This is a great seasoning for any dish you want to add smoke and heat to.

The great thing about chipotles is that you can add smoke flavor to virtually anything without firing up the smoker. Want a smoky spaghetti sauce, add a little chipotle.

Or you can try one of these recipes:

• Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
• Chipotle Dry Rub
• Chipotle Poblano Sauce
• Chipotle Country Ribs
• Chipotle Salsa
• Chipotle Turkey Breasts
• Chipotle Flank Steak
