Casa Fiesta Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
What it is
This product contains whole chipotle peppers, which are smoked jalapeños, preserved in a tangy adobo sauce. The peppers are soft and smoky, with a deep, rich flavor profile. The adobo sauce itself is a flavorful blend of tomato, vinegar, and spices, adding a complex layer of taste. It is a versatile ingredient for adding heat and depth to many dishes. The small tin makes it easy to store and use as needed.

Experiment with different amounts to achieve your preferred level of heat.
