Nutritional Benefits

Chipotle meco chiles are naturally fat-free, low in calories, and gluten-free. As smoke-dried ripe jalapeños, they provide vitamins A and C, antioxidant plant compounds, and natural capsaicin. A smoky, plant-based, vegan-friendly way to build deep flavor without added sodium or fat.

How to Use

Wipe the pods clean and remove stems and seeds if you prefer less heat. Toast briefly on a dry comal to awaken the smoke, then soak in hot water for 15–20 minutes until pliable. Blend into salsas, purée into adobo, or simmer whole in soups, stews, and beans to infuse a smoky backbone.

Smoky Table Salsa: Blend toasted chipotle meco with roasted tomatillo and salt for a bold, smoky salsa.

Chipotle Beans: Drop a whole chile into a pot of simmering beans for smoky depth.
