## Overview

The Dried Chile Chipotle Meco Pepper is a premium smoked jalapeño variety known for its intense smoky flavor, medium heat level (5,000-10,000 SHU), and larger, mature size. Smoked twice as long as standard chipotles, it offers a richer, more complex taste profile with smoky, grassy, and fruity notes. Ideal for authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes, it can be rehydrated or ground to enhance marinades, sauces, and spice blends.

## Description

Chipotles are smoked jalapenos and are used primarily in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. Jalapenos are from the species Capsicum annuum. The harder to find Chipotle "Meco" chiles are also known as Chile "Meco" or Chipotle Tipico. The "Meco" Chipotle pepper is larger and stiffer with a grayish-tan coloring and is best described as looking like a cigar butt. They are mature jalapenos 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 chiles start losing their moisture they're then harvested to be transformed into "Meco" chipotles.

Review: Wonderful smoky flavor! - Loved these peppers! Very smoky flavor…just what I was looking for! You can rehydrate them or you can grind them up to use them in recipes. These were wonderful and I will be ordering from this company again.
Review: Perfect for my Al pastor marinade - These were perfect for my Al pastor marinade ! They smelled amazing and soften perfectly well. My marinade tasted amazing !

## Features

- "Meco" chipotles are smoked for about twice as long as "Moritas" which gives them a more intense and richer flavor.
- Most chileheads 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!
- Chipotle “Meco” Chiles are considered a medium heat chile and come in at 5,000 to 10,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units).
- 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.
