Chipotle

Welcome to the Chipotle recipe collection on Just Maika Cooking, where the smoky, rich essence of smoked jalapeños takes center stage. Chipotles are simply jalapeños that have been dried and smoke-cured, lending a deep, woodsy heat and complexity to every dish.

In this category, you’ll find hearty and comforting recipes like Chipotle Chorizo and Bean Stew, where chipotle brings smoky warmth to spicy sausage and beans; warming bowls like Mushroom Lentil Bean Chili, in which chipotle elevates plant-based protein with bold depth; and layered, flavor-packed meals like Cheesy Chipotle Mushroom Tacos, where the chipotle’s smokiness complements earthy mushrooms and melty cheese.

Across these recipes, you’ll taste how Chipotle delivers both familiar jalapeño heat and an added dimension of smoky, lingering flavor that’s beloved in Mexican, Tex-Mex, and modern fusion cuisines.
