About this item
Highlights
- "Meco" chipotles are smoked for about twice as long as "morita chili peppers" which gives them a more intense and richer flavor.
- Chipotle meco chiles are considered a medium heat chile and come in at 5,000 to 10,000 SHU (Scoville heat units).
- In northern Mexico fully ripened red jalapenos are smoked in large pits on a rack constructed of bamboo, metal or wood.
- Most chile heads view the chipotle "meco" chipotle as the better quality of the two and if you've never experienced a chipotle "meco" you are in for a real treat!
- The flavor profile is smoky with a slightly spicy, grassy fruitiness. The "meco" also tends to hold up better than the "morita" to stronger flavors.
Description
Chipotles are smoked jalapeno peppers and are used primarily in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. The harder to find Chipotle "meco" chili peppers are also known as chile "meco" or chipotle tipico. The "meco" Chipotle chili pepper is larger and stiffer with a grayish-tan coloring and is best described as looking like a cigar butt. They are mature jalapeno peppers that are left on the bush even longer than those that are picked as red jalapenos to be sold at various markets. This additional time on the bush results in an even deeper red color and as these chilies start losing their moisture they're then harvested to be transformed into "meco" chipotles.
