chipotle powder
Ground smoke-dried jalapeños, smoky, hot and faintly fruity.
Chipotle powder is sold in well-stocked supermarkets, spice shops and online, though not in every store. Hot smoked paprika with a pinch of cayenne can stand in for it.
Substitute:
Hot smoked paprika with a pinch of cayenne matches the smoke and heat but tastes milder and less fruity. Finely chopped chipotles in adobo also work, but they bring vinegar and sweetness and make the dish wetter.
