Chipotle Mecos Chiles are large, tan-colored smoked and dried jalapeño peppers that are harvested later and smoked longer than typical chipotles. They have a medium heat (5,000–10, 000 SHU) with a bold, smoky flavor and subtle earthy-sweet notes. Often used in salsas, marinades, and braised dishes, they add deep smokiness and richness. Heat Level: 4–5/10. Show more
