What the AI looks for in Chipotle

Form
Ground for rubs and quick seasoning. Whole dried pods for rehydrating into sauces. Canned in adobo for wet, tangy smokiness. Each form behaves differently in recipes.
Morita vs meco
Morita is the common dark-red, fruitier chipotle. Meco is tan, leathery and more heavily smoked. The difference in smoke intensity is large.
Single ingredient
Ground chipotle should list only chipotle pepper. Blends labelled chipotle seasoning add salt and sugar.
