Capt’n Salsa’s Tip about Chipotle Chiles.
Freeze the any left over chipotles by placing individual chiles on a cookie sheet, devide the remaining adobo sauce equally among the chiles. This will look like “chipotle cookies” then place the entire cookie sheet in the freezer. Place the frozen chiles in a freezer bag and use as needed. These will keep for at least a year in the freezer.
