Good God man, I bought a little can of chipotles in adobo sauce. Too hot
for my taste. They're probably hotter than jalapenos!

I've used chipotle powder as part of a pork tenderloin rub to good
effect.

I don't know what the adobo sauce had to do with the heat. I only used
one pepper from the can!!! WHEW! Breaking out in a sweat just thinking
about it.
