Chipotle hot sauce

Chipotle hot sauce is a traditional Mexican sauce made from chipotle peppers, which are smoked and dried jalapeños, crushed and mixed with various ingredients such as tomato, garlic, onion, vinegar, and spices. This sauce is known for its smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor, which adds a distinctive and deep touch to a wide variety of dishes.

Chipotle is originally from Mexico, where it has been used since pre-Hispanic times, especially in the cuisine of the central and southern parts of the country. The technique of smoking jalapeños to preserve them and concentrate their flavor is a highly valued tradition in Mexican gastronomy.

Regarding its properties, chipotle sauce is rich in capsaicin, a compound that not only provides spiciness but also has antioxidant properties and may help stimulate metabolism. Additionally, it contains vitamins A and C, present in the chili and tomato, which contribute to immune health.

In various Hispanic American countries, chipotle hot sauce may be known by other names or presented in similar variations, although the term "chipotle" generally remains the same due to its specificity. However, in some places, it may simply be known as smoked chili sauce or smoked chipotle sauce.
