What To Do with Leftover Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce

It’s been a chili fest at The Schell Cafe this week. As they say, it was good while it lasted. The cooler temperatures we enjoyed last weekend have returned to a warm, sticky, October mess and any craving for spicy chili will have to wait until next month. But, what should I do with the remaining half can of chipotle peppers left over from my Bestest Darndest Chili and Chipotle Chicken Chili recipes?

Freeze ’em.

But, first a little reminder. . .

Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapeño peppers. I keep a steady supply of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in the pantry because I love the smokey flavor and distinct spice they add to soup, chili, and other southwestern dishes. Most recipes call for 2-4 chipotle peppers so I always end up with more than half a can left. Which is exactly what happened after this week’s chilipalooza.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
