Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 pound ground turkey or ground beef (I'm using a combination of both)
1 large onion chopped
1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
1 poblano pepper (chopped)
1 hot chili pepper (chopped (for a spicier version - try a habanero or ghost pepper - optional for a nice and extra spicy chili))
4 cloves garlic chopped
2 cans red kidney beans
3 cans fire roasted tomatoes (42 ounces, or use equivalent fresh)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 7- ounce can chipotles in adobo sauce (use half the can for a milder chipotle flavor)
1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot to medium-high heat and add the ground turkey (or beef), onion and peppers. Cook them down about 10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are softened.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
  • If using fresh tomatoes, chop them and add them to the pot. Cook about 10 minutes to let them break down. If using canned fire roasted tomatoes, just add them to the pot and go to the next step.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and give it all a good stir.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the chili on low heat for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop, stirring every now and then. Adjust for seasonings if you wish. Alternatively, you can transfer everything to a slow cooker or crock pot at this stage and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours, until the flavors develop to your preference.
  • Serve in bowls with your favorite fixin's.

Chipotles En Adobo - Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce image

A great way to preserve chipotle peppers and to enhance their flavor is to store them in adobo sauce. Making homemade chipotle peppers in adobo sauce is very easy and definitely superior to the canned adobo. You can also freeze the homemade chipotle adobo mixture when you're done to save it for up to a year.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 containers, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 onion, diced
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups water
30 fresh red jalapeno chiles

Steps:

  • While the sauce is cooking, I smoke the red jalapenos in a 400 degree oven. Slather the peppers in canola oil and place on a cookie sheet. This takes approximately 30 minutes. Turn the peppers frequently so that they are blackened all around. Do not burn them, just blacken them. You still want a nice interior red flesh. Once they have cooled, slit the peppers down a side, but keep them whole hole.
  • Combine all of the SAUCE ingredients in a pan and simmer, covered, over low heat heat until the liquid is reduced to about a cup. This should take about an hour. Once the adobo sauce has reduced add the smoked japapenos to it and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • I like to take about 5 peppers and sauce and put them into small containers and freeze them until ready to use. This adobo sauce recipe will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container, or you can freeze the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for up to a year.
  • FREEZE THE CHIPOTLE PEPPERS IN ADOBO SAUCE.
  • There are several ways to freeze the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. You can pour them into a large zip lock bag and then freezing them flat. This will allow you to easily break off pieces as you need them.
  • You can also puree the chipotle peppers in the adobo sauce before freezing them in the zip lock. If you puree them, you can make tablespoon sized mounds on a plate and then freeze the plate OR put them in small containers. You can then take the frozen chipotle puree mounds and put them into a single zip lock.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh chipotle peppers for the best flavor.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make a smooth adobo sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of adobo sauce depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  • Store the chipotles en adobo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • You can also freeze the chipotles en adobo for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Chipotles en adobo are a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They add a smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor to any dish. Whether you're using them to make a simple sauce, a marinade, or a stew, chipotles en adobo are sure to add a unique and delicious flavor to your next meal.
