Chipotle morita is a ripe jalapeño chilli that has been carefully smoked and dried, resulting in a rich, slightly sweet flavour with a distinctive smoky depth—essential to authentic Mexican cooking.
Smaller in size and deep reddish in colour, morita chillies are softer and more versatile than other chipotle varieties, adding flavour without overpowering your dish.
Perfect for:
- Salsas and adobos
- Marinades for meats (especially pork and chicken)
- Traditional Mexican stews
- Adding a smoky kick to any dish
Flavour profile:
Smoky, mildly sweet, with medium heat.
