Chipotles en Vinagre
Pickled Chipotle Chiles
In the regions of Puebla and Tlaxcala, smoky chipotle chiles are frequently pickled and used to season sauces, stews, and soups. Look for chipotles or another smoked jalapeño variety, chile mora, which is tan or reddish brown in color, pliable and about 2 inches in length. Pickled chiles keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 months.
