What is Chipotle Meco?

Chipotle Meco stands out as a distinctive type of chipotle, characterized by its use of ripe jalapeños and an extended smoking process. Although chipotle morita also uses ripe jalapenos and smoke drying, meco uses more ripe jalapenos and smokes them far longer to make a brittle texture with a much more smokey flavor. This method results in dry peppers that boast a rich brown color, a stark contrast to the more commonly recognized raisin-like chipotle morita.
