Chipotle Chile Flakes

Chipotle Chile Flakes - Chipotle chiles are actually dried smoked ripe jalapeño peppers. These are considered medium heat and rate at between 5000 to 10000 Scoville units of heat. They were originally found in salsas, but now are commonly found in many types of Southwestern style dishes. Because of a certain popular Mexican restaurant chain, these peppers have become very commonly known today.
