Gourmet Paste with Adobo
The Art of Chipotle

Do you chipotle? Do you LOVE the smoky, rich flavor of smoked jalapeno peppers? Hate the painstaking preparation though? Now you can have the equivalent of several cans of chipotle peppers in a paste form that is ready to add to spreads, dips, sauces and even drinks.

The ingredients are chipotle paste, tomato paste, water, vinegar, salt and citric acid. The 6.5 ounce jar is filled with a rich, aromatic and highly flavorful concentrated paste of pure chipotle flavor and heat.

Yes, heat! This paste has a decided kick to it and the red chili face on the jar says ‘Hot Stuff’. So, if you are a faint of heart gringo you will need to use just a ¼ teaspoon of this paste to give your recipes that authentic chipotle flavor without singing your delicate taste buds.

But, if you are a heat freak, then bring on this chipotle paste with adobo! Carumba, but your taste buds will kick and smoke and your sombrero will smolder, but you will go with a smile on your face!

Here is a recipe using this paste that every gringo or heat freak will enjoy: just adjust the heat to your own tolerance!
