A Morita chile it's a smoked jalapeño, much like a chipotle but smaller and fierier.
Dried and crushed Morita chiles are ideal for use in soups, stews, beans, chilis, or other recipes that simmer a long while on a low heat.
Morita Chile is also sometimes called "Chipotle Colorado," "Mora Chile," and "Black Dash red chile."
Just a little sprinkle of Morita Chile brings a kick to vegetables, meats, and sauces. The fruity undertones of Moritas are delicious with tomato or pork dishes. Add to chili, sauces, and moles.
This jalapeño is left on the vine long enough that will eventually turn red.
