Especially in Mexican dishes as you can imagine. Do you have a favorite dish that uses Chipotle Peppers?

Did you know you can complement Chipotle recipes with cooling elements like Sour Cream, Avocado, or a Crisp Salad. While you can’t grow Chipotle directly because they’re smoked Jalapeños, you can grow Jalapeño Plants in a sunny spot and later smoke the Jalapeno Peppers to make your own Chipotle.
Health Benefits of Chipotle:
Chipotle Peppers are rich in Capsaicin, which is known for its metabolism-boosting properties, and are also a good source of antioxidants and vitamins.
