Timely subject for me. Bought a can of "Embasa" chipotle in adobo sauce (a product of Mexico) yesterday morning to use in a shrimp burrito mix. Haven't tried it yet. Will look for the "Bufalo" brand next time I go to town. Price Chopper or Hen House will probably carry it. I have plenty of frozen pods that I could smoke, but since never have purchased chipotles wouldn't know if the homesmoked was good or bad w/o a comparison.

Ok, I finally broke down and bought my fist can of Chipotles in Adobo. I bought the "San Marcos" brand at our local Piggly Wiggly. I think they had another brand there also, but I could be wrong. I tried them last night on some left-over pizza, and thought they improved it enough to make the effort worthwhile. Now for the question: Is this a decent brand, or are these inferior to some, many, most others out there? I never really paid much attention before when these were discussed, since I didn't intend on ever buying any. I'll try some more tonight in Saturday's left-over chilli. -- Erich C-H # 2099 & First Lieutenant of the Moderate Corps
