[edit] About Chipotle Peppers

Chipotles are smoked jalapeño peppers. The native peoples of Mexico developed the method of smoking to preserve the chiles because, unlike other peppers, jalapeños don't dry well naturally due to their waxy skin. Water gets sealed inside and they tend rot rather than dry. Chipotles are often stored "en adobo" which is a process of soaking them in vinegar, which reconstitutes them and creates a sauce.
The spicy and smoky flavor goes well with meats and has become very popular as a sauce when mixed with mayonnaise in restuarants in the United States.
