I was inspired by LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo to create a dish that is extremely versatile. Let me tell you what I mean. As-is, the spicy chipotle skillet meal takes under an hour to make and all in one pan. Additionally, it's gluten-free, dairy-free, and not lacking in the color or flavor departments! Making modifications is easy, too. Want grain free? Nix the corn. Vegan or Veg? Cut the ground turkey. You can also add in other veggies of your choosing and still wind up with amazing deliciousness.
This spicy chipotle skillet meal is a completely new dish and I am so proud of how it turned out, y'all. It's colorful, clean, and can be customized to your specific taste. Easy cleanup is another plus. As y'all know, I love spicy dishes so the LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo were the perfect ingredient to make this a memorable meal that I'll turn to for lunch and dinner again and again. I used the whole 7-ounce can but you can use more or less according to your heat preference. This has become a new pantry staple and I can't believe I've never used LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo before when LA MORENA® has been in the game for over 45 years with products like this one made in the style and with the taste of the authentic Mexican home and traditional recipes. Should I turn in my Texan card? Don't answer that!
I finished my spicy chipotle skillet meal with a sprinkle of cheese then wrapped it up in a couple of tortillas but you could also serve it over rice, with a salad, or just eat it by itself. Growing up in southwest Houston, Texas (the most culturally-diverse area in the country), Fiesta Mart was a family go-to for international ingredients whether they be herbs for Nigerian dishes or spices for making Tex-Mex. So naturally, I picked up my LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo from Fiesta!

We have a new family favorite. We the kiddo in the mix, we cut back on the adobe peppers in the cooking, but added some sauce later to the individual servings for the adults. Our choice for serving was in a tortilla with collards and yellow rice with carrots on the side.
Jazz says
Great to hear, Charles! That yellow rice sounds like the perfect companion to this meal. Thanks for reading!
