Chipotle Paste

Description
That kind of paste I will be very happy to add to chicken before baking or grilling for nice tasty spicy flavor. Or add big zing to my Mexican soup or Tortilla Soup for nice smokey flavor fire. I always enjoyed the flavor from Chipotle and like to play with it by trying it on whatever I want to eat with.
