chipotle salsa

Spicy pepper sauce

Chipotle salsa is a sauce or dip made with chipotle peppers—smoked, dried jalapeños rehydrated or used from a can.

The smoky heat distinguishes it from fresh salsas: The chipotle salsa pairs well with grilled meats.

It ranges from mild to fiery depending on how many peppers go in.
