Chipotle Peppers
Chipotles are basically jalapeño chili peppers that have been previously smoked and dried, although they can also have a sweet taste underneath the heat. The cooking process can sometimes be complicated, but with Mahatma® you can enjoy the delicious flavors chipotle peppers bring to rice in only 90 seconds and with no mess!
Recipe Variations
For a simple summer barbecue feast, grill corn, sliced zucchini, and quartered bell peppers with chicken until tender and lightly charred all over. Prepare the vegetarian version of this dish following this Chipotle Rice Bowl with Veggies recipe.
Keep the chicken juicy and prevent it from overcooking by submerging it in a salt-water solution before placing on the grill. Cover the grill for best results.
