Marinade with chipotle flavor

Chipotle-flavored marinade is a liquid or semi-liquid mixture used to season and tenderize meats, fish, poultry, and vegetables before cooking. The main characteristic of this marinade is its intense smoky and slightly spicy flavor, derived from the chipotle chili, which is a dried and smoked jalapeño pepper.

The chipotle is a typical ingredient in Mexican cuisine, with roots that date back to pre-Hispanic cultures that used smoking to preserve food. This marinade has become widely popular in different countries of Latin America and the world, adding a characteristic and exotic touch to various preparations.

Among the main properties of the chipotle-flavored marinade are its ability to provide deep flavor and complexity to dishes, in addition to facilitating the penetration of spices into the meat, which improves its texture and juiciness. Furthermore, the chipotle chili contains capsaicin, a compound that can stimulate metabolism and offer antioxidant properties.

In different regions of Latin America, the chipotle-flavored marinade may have various names or variants such as chipotle adobo or simply chipotle marinade. However, the concept and use are similar: a spiced mixture that enhances flavor with a smoky and spicy touch.
