Our Smoked Chipotle Chili peppers are grown on Fire Tongue Farms in California and smoked over fruit tree branches pruned from a nearby orchard. A chipotle is a smoked jalapeño pepper, so these are the darker, deeper siblings to our El Jefe-variety Red Jalapeños . They're medium-hot and are perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit. See how this compares to our other chilis.

The quality of these smoked chipotle flakes is really noticeable. They transform a simple stew into something rich and complex, with that characteristic dark, smoky profile. My wife loves them too, and we often sprinkle them on avocado toast for a morning kick.
I've tried many different brands of chipotle flakes, but these from Burlap & Barrel are truly superior. The smoky notes are deep and authentic, clearly from real wood, and the medium heat is perfect. It's great for adding a complex flavor to my BBQ rubs and even sprinkled on grilled corn.
These chili flakes barely registered any heat, even after using a generous amount. The smoky flavor was also much weaker than anticipated, which was disappointing.
These deliver a lovely smoky aroma and taste, great in a pot of beans. The heat level is on the milder side of medium, so if you like it spicy, you might need extra.
Expected more heat from a medium-hot chili; these are quite subtle.
