Thanks Dave,

Ah!  Well.... between the green and the red I am more inclined to the 
red and ripe, not that I have anything against the chipotle in it's 
various forms.
Thank you for the recipes.
I will try them.

I've been using moritas for a while now in various dishes.
Usually I grind them to a fine powder, making a hot, smoky paprika that 
works with most things I do.
It's nice sprinkled on feta cheese with a few olives, some toasted
garlic-dill bread, and a glass of sauvignon blanc on the side.
But that's another story.

Kind Regards,

Jose
