“Chipotle peppers are jalapeno chilies that have been smoked and dried. Their smoky heat is delicious brushed over tortillas and pizzas, and carefully added to soup and stews. A little will go a long way. The puree will keep almost indefinately; if you know you'll be storing it a long time, cover the puree with a thin layer of oil. Enjoy! Adapted from Field of Greens restaruant cookbook.”

You will see this mentioned in recipes and it is usually called "chipotle paste". I use it all the time now that I found the easy way to use it. I also puree my can of chipotles in adobo and place in a glass jar in the frig. I have been adding it to recipes like a lot of people use onion and garlic. When I make chicken noodle soup I usually add about 2 - 3 tsp of the paste, depending on how much soup I'm making. It doesn't make things real hot unless you use a lot. But a small amount can nicely complement the other flavors in a recipe. Add some chipotle paste to a block of cream cheese and combine. Pour the sauce over some chicken tenderloins or thighs in the crockpot and let it cook. So yummy!
