Chipotle En Adobo Views
So watch out, things might get a little bit spicy around here at some point! I'm ready! I did find chipotles en adobo at my market. Well, not mine, I was shopping while my mom went to the dentist. I've been too lazy to make my own, plus the quality of the dried chiles where I shop has been iffy at best. I assume yours came in a package. I'll have to check for that.
In addition to using them in salsa, they make a tasty addition to canned refried beans. I've done a quick, microwave version by chopping an onion, mincing a clove or so of garlic, chopping a chipotle, and putting it all into a covered casserole with some oil and a bit of the adobo. Cook in the microwave until the onions are soft, stir in the beans, and heat. Not exactly authentic, but it works for a quick side or tortilla filler.
I know this was posted about a million years ago but I came across it while searching for a simple baked chicken recipe using Chipotles in Adobo. Alas, I still haven't found one. I do however have a great recipe for a meatloaf you might like to try. I was astounded at all the flavor in this incredibly basic recipe and wow does it make great cold sandwiches!
Adobo relates to marinated dishes such as chipotles en adobo in which chipotles (smoked ripe jalapeƱo peppers) are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The spices vary, but generally include several types of peppers (in addition to the chipotle and most likely those on hand), ground cumin and dried oregano. Some recipes include orange juice and lemon or lime juices. They often include a pinch of brown sugar just to offset any bitter taste.
