Smoked Chipotle Chili Flakes

This Smoked Chipotle chili peppers were grown on Fire Tongue Farm in California and smoked over fruit tree branches pruned from a nearby orchard.

A chipotle is a smoked jalapeño pepper, so these are the darker, deeper siblings to Burlap & Barrel's El Jefe–variety Red Jalapeños. They're medium-hot and are perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit.
