NOTES : " Chipotles in adobo are chipotles that have been stewed in a lightly

seasoned liquid. They have become very popular in Southwestern cooking because

the provide a distinctive warm heat and delicious smoky flavor. They can be

added to almost anything, including breads, sauces, salad dressings and pastas.

Although you can buy canned chipotles in adobo (look for them in markets that

specialize in Hispanic foods), this homemade alternative is far superior and is

very easy to prepare. "

check albertsons and ralphs and stater brothers. in the section where they have

ethnic foods there are bags hanging and large jars on shelves of spices, herbs

and dried chile peppers. I often have to dig. sometime they are stored in the

bottom rungs.

 

sometimes! these are stored in the produce section: the " speciality " items. in

bulk. not packaged.

 

we can get them mail order from places like frieda's and melissas that have

online catalogs. I've seen them sold (not always) at farmers markets.

 

if you have a smoker you could dry jalapenos....
