Chipotle peppers, stemming from the Nahuatl word chilpoctli (meaning "smoked chili"), are actually dried, smoked jalapeno peppers. Their smoky-sweet flavor is often used in Southwestern and Mexican dishes to impart a relatively mild but earthy spiciness in everything from chili to barbeque.

Frontier Co-op® Ground Chipotle has a spicy and distinctly smoky flavor. It features a rich aroma that is both intense and complex. Since this seasoning is smoky and earthy, it has become a desired addition to various dishes that have a little sharpness.
