A dried chipotle chilli is a type of smoked and dried jalapeño pepper. Originating from Mexico, this chilli is known for its distinctive smoky flavor and moderate heat, which ranges between 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The process of making chipotle chillies involves ripening jalapeño peppers on the plant until they turn red, then harvesting and smoking them over wood for several days. This smoking process not only preserves the peppers but also imparts a rich, complex flavour that is highly sought after in various cuisines.

Chipotle chillies are commonly used in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes to add depth and a smoky kick. They can be used in salsas, marinades, soups, and stews, providing a layer of complexity that raw or fresh chillies cannot match. The chillies can be ground into a powder, rehydrated in water, or used whole, depending on the recipe and desired intensity of flavour.
