Chipotle Chile Powder

Smoke is part of its main character, so it can dominate even before the dish seems very hot. For more chile flavor with less smoke, combine a small amount with a milder, unsmoked chile instead of doubling the chipotle.

Tacos, barbecue, chili, beans, sweet potatoes, corn, marinades and smoky sauces.

Start with 1/4 teaspoon per cup of sauce or 1/2 teaspoon per pound of vegetables.

Mix into a moist base or add briefly to warm oil before liquid; avoid scorching the fine powder.

Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.

Mash one drained can of beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon chipotle. Add water a spoonful at a time for a dipping texture. Taste before increasing the smoke and heat.

Ground chipotle chile.
