Chipotle Morita Powder, Capsicum annum, is a medium heat chile that measures 2,500-10,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It is also called dried chipotle powder, chipotle powder, or smoked chipotle powder. When dried and smoked in Mexico, the jalapeno chile is called chile chipotle.

Flame-red and wrapped in pungent spiciness, our Chipotle Morita Chile Powder delivers smoky heat and a ton of flavor to the kitchen.

Chipotle peppers are made from jalapeño peppers, left on the plant to ripen to a deep ruby red. They are picked at their height of ripeness, when they are sweetest, and smoked over fragrant wood, turning them into a deep red that looks black.

The smoke infuses every bit of the pepper with woodsy depth and condenses the flavors as the pepper dries. Chipotles are removed from the smoke while they still have a bit of moisture and are a little bit leathery but retain their fruity characteristics.

 

Flavor Profile

Chipotle Morita Powder carries a concentrated sweetness, with a taste reminiscent of dried cherries or raisins, with a deep, almost chocolatey foundation to the flavor.

 

Heat Level

The Chipotle pepper is considered a medium heat chile and has a heat range of 2,500-10,000 SHU.

 

How to Use

Use dried Chipotle powder wherever you want to add smoky depth. It can stand up to long cooking times, so use it in a marinade for skirt steak or add it to a dry rub for slow-cooked brisket.

Chipotle powder is easy to blend into sauces or mix into a dry rub to add just the right amount of unique pepper flavor profiles to your dishes. They’re also easy to regulate; measure out as much or as little as you want. Start with a small amount and taste as you add.

It loves sweet flavors, so pair it with honey or maple syrup for sweet-heat glazes for pork or ribs or pineapple for pineapple-shrimp skewers. Toss with corn and sauté, or toss with cheese and top a twice-baked potato—white potato or sweet, it’s your choice. Either one will be fantastic.

Sprinkle on hummus, or toss over freshly-grilled zucchini. We also carry top-quality whole Chipotle Morita Chiles..

Great Chile Powder This is a good chile powder. It is smoky,a bit sweet and earthy a tad bit fruity with a little bit of heat,but not extreme or overpowering! I wanted to try a new smoked chile for a green chile spice mix I make & it was a good choice! I highly recommend it!

Bharvi S. (Verified buyer) 04/15/2022
