MODERATELY SPICY, BUT THEY ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT FOR THEIR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE A DISTINCTIVE SMOKY, COMPLEX TASTE TO FOODS. SMOKED JALAPENO BUT TYPICALLY SMOKED TWICE AS LONG AS MORITAS. THIS RESULTS IN A RICHER FLAVOR LIGHT BROWN. MECO CHILES ARE PICKED WHEN THEY ARE STILL GREEN AND SMOKED TWICE AS LONG AS MORITA CHILES, GIVING THEM A WONDERFUL SMOKY FRUITY FLAVOR. THIS "SMOKE DRYING" PROCESS WAS INITIALLY USED FOR DRYING MEATS BUT THEY FOUND THAT SMOKING ALLOWED THE CHILES TO BE STORED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. HOW DO YOU USE THE CHIPOTLE MECO? Chipotle Meco Chiles will add a deep, earthy spiciness to many dishes in Mexican cuisine.

These rehydrated peppers can also be incorporated into casseroles, bean dishes, dips, and salsas, or they can be diced and stirred into chiles, soups, and stews.
