Essential Pantry Chipotle Chili Powder - Mexico4 oz - Origin: Mexico Reddish-brown chipotle chili powder has an intriguingly smoky flavor, with tones of plum, fig, chocolate and tobacco. This chipotle morita chile powder, which has a medium heat to it, is perfect for getting chipotle flavor into sauces, stews, or other dishes - without having to handle whole dried chiles. This chipotle chile powder is made from our favorite smoked chile, chipotle morita chile. The morita is a ripe jalapeño that has been smoked before it is dried. (The Spanish word chipotle is a contraction of chilpotle in the Náhuatl language of the Aztecs, where chil referred to the hot pepper and potle was derived from poctli, meaning smoked.) This variety is grown in many places in Mexico, and it is especially popular in the provinces of Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chihuhua. Chef John Howie uses this in his Texas Style Chili. THIS PRODUCT IS PACKAGED IN A FACILITY THAT ALSO HANDLES WHEAT FLOUR, SOY FLOUR, TREE NUTS, PEANUTS, CHOCOLATE (MILK), AND OTHER ALLERGENS
