The Chipotle spice is created by harvesting jalapeños at the end of their growing season after they  have turned red, they are then smoked over a wood , often pecan wood, fire for several days to remove the moisture. The spice has been postulated that the Aztecs in northern Mexico were the first to smoke jalapeños because they are difficult to dry and prone to rot. Its spice level is typically between 15,000 - 30,000 HU and is considered moderately pungent.
