FOOD FACTS
Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapeno peppers. Since most of the heat from the jalapenos are retained in the smoking process, these peppers tend to be very spicy. Typically located in the ethnic food aisle, they come in a variety of forms, such as dried whole, powdered, pickled or canned in adobo sauce.

CREATIVE LEFTOVERS

KEEPING IT SAFE
After handling raw chicken, wash hands in hot soapy water and do the same with anything else that has come into contact with the raw chicken.
