you’re able to tone down (or amp up!)
the chipotle in these recipes so the heat level is just right for you.
Recipes like our Creamy Chipotle Skillet Chicken and Chipotle-Lime Cauliflower Tacos are healthy, fiery and filling.

Creamy Chipotle Skillet Chicken Thighs
Smoky chipotle is the star of this one-skillet chicken thigh recipe.
Great for weeknight dinners, this can be on the table in under 30 minutes.
Serve with tortillas or over rice or low-carb cauliflower rice with a simple cabbage slaw.
Serve with more hot sauce, if desired.
Loading it with vegetables and using quinoa in place of rice adds nutrition for a healthy dinner.
Chipotle Tofu Tacos
Here, we tear the tofu instead of cutting it.
Coating with a flavorful cornstarch mixture helps maximize the crunch.
We love the smoky heat from the chipotle peppers, but use less if you prefer a milder chili.
The small amount of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce gives it a mild spice level.
For a spicier soup, stir in up to 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers.
Look for the small cans of smoked chipotle peppers in adobo sauce near other Mexican ingredients in well-stocked supermarkets.
Once opened, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

Are you a spiralizing pro?
Swap 5 cups of raw zucchini, carrot or other veggie “noodles” for the cooked pasta.
To cut down on prep time, look for precut cauliflower in the produce department.

Serve with roasted broccoli and brown rice tossed with cilantro.
Chipotle-Orange Broccoli & Tofu
Chipotle peppers add kick to this tofu and broccoli stir-fry recipe.
If you’re shy about spice, cut back on the amount or leave them out completely.
Serve over brown basmati rice.
Bonus: the shredded seasoned pork recipe makes enough for leftovers.
