Default Dried chipotles

Today I was at the Mexican grocery getting some bottles of hot sauce,
and I bought a package of the gray-tan dried chipotles. The cigar butt
looking ones. I usually buy the black morita peppers, but wanted to try
the good ones for a change.

Do I use them just like the cheap kind? I assume they are smokier and
not quite as hot.

That's just a ripe jalapeno, smoked and dried. Use as any other dried
pepper.

So nobody has used them before? I will try one in my next pot of
beans like I usually do with moritas and see how it's different. (One
morita is enough to spice up a half a pound of dried beans)

Also may crumble one up with some diced onion, sprinkle with a little
lime juice and garlic salt, and see what I get when they rehydrate.

No. I bought one can of them once, but they were way too smoky for
me. It took me a long time to realize I could find them dried, but I
didn't have a desire to fiddle with smoked chilies anymore.

oops, addendum to my own post- I buy the ground dried chipotles, not
whole! Sorry for the confusion!

They sell it in the spice section in little dope like bags, lol. It is
labeled "product of USA" but not where. I seem to recall it cost between
$3 or $4 bucks for the small bag.
