FAQ
What is Smoked Mexican Chipotle Puree? It's a rich, concentrated chili puree made from smoked chipotle peppers — jalapeños that have been dried and smoked to develop a deep, earthy, smoky heat. Crafted by Tubac Gourmet Foods as a versatile pantry staple for bold, authentic Mexican-inspired cooking.
How is chipotle puree different from chipotle in adobo sauce? Chipotle in adobo comes packed in a tangy tomato-vinegar sauce. This is a pure smoked chipotle puree — no sauce, no fillers — giving you clean, concentrated smoky chili flavor you can build on however you like.
How hot is it? Chipotles are moderately hot (2,500–8,000 Scoville units), but the smoking process adds a bold depth that makes the heat feel richer and more complex. It's approachable for most palates while still delivering real kick.
How do I use it? The uses are nearly endless — stir into BBQ sauces, enchilada sauce, soups, chili, or stews; blend into marinades for meats; mix into mayo or sour cream for a smoky dip; or use as a base for homemade hot sauce. A spoonful transforms a dish.
Is it made with real smoked peppers? Yes. This is a puree of genuine smoked chipotle chilis — no artificial smoke flavoring.
How much does it cost? $10.00 per jar — a small-batch gourmet ingredient at an everyday pantry price.
Does it need to be refrigerated? Yes, we recommend refrigerating after opening to keep it fresh and flavorful.
Can I use it as a substitute for chipotle powder? Absolutely. Use the puree anywhere you'd use chipotle powder or dried chipotles — it rehydrates instantly and blends smoothly into any recipe.
