Chipotle Morita Chile Powder, 20 oz – 100% Smoked Jalapeño Pepper, Smoky-Sweet Flavor, Medium Heat, by Woodland Gourmet

Chipotle Morita Chile Powder is made from 100% finely ground chipotle morita chiles, one of the two traditional varieties of chipotle peppers. Morita chiles are produced from fully ripened jalapeño peppers that are dried and lightly smoked, allowing them to retain their naturally fruity-sweet flavor while developing a smooth, smoky depth. Compared to chipotle meco chiles, moritas are smoked for a shorter period of time, giving them a deep reddish-purple color and a more balanced smoke profile. Their heat level ranges from approximately 12,000 to 26,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them approachable and versatile across a wide range of cuisines. This finely ground smoked chile powder delivers consistent flavor and performance in both traditional and modern cooking. Use it to build complexity in enchilada sauces, chili, stews, marinades, and spice rubs, or incorporate it into barbecue dishes, cornbread, or adobo-style preparations. It pairs especially well with poultry, meats, seafood, and fall vegetables. Rooted in ancient Mexican culinary traditions dating back to the Aztecs, chipotle chiles remain a cornerstone of smoky, slow-cooked flavor. Woodland Gourmet’s Chipotle Morita Chile Powder captures that heritage in a convenient, high-quality seasoning designed for everyday use.
