Chipotle is cherished worldwide for its balance of warmth and smokiness, and our flakes make it wonderfully convenient to add that flavour to any dish. Sprinkle them straight from the pack to finish tacos, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables, or blend into marinades, rubs, and sauces for a bold kick. These flakes are especially loved in modern kitchens because they elevate both quick weekday meals and adventurous weekend feasts.

Here are 10 tasty ways to use smoked chipotle flakes:

1. Stir into chilli con carne for a smoky, slow-cooked depth.

2. Sprinkle over avocado toast for a Mexican-inspired breakfast.

3. Add to homemade BBQ sauce for ribs or burgers.

4. Mix into mayonnaise or sour cream for a quick smoky dip.

5. Dust over roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash.

6. Enhance fajita or taco fillings with a pinch of smoky heat.

7. Stir into baked beans for a cowboy-style flavour.

8. Add to melted butter and brush over corn on the cob.

9. Use in marinades for chicken wings or steak.

10. Sprinkle lightly over pizza for a gourmet twist.

Extra tip: A little goes a long way – start with a small pinch and build up to taste.

A few recipe ideas to perfect to bring out the taste of smoked chipotle:

1. Smoky Chipotle Chicken Tacos: Marinate chicken breasts with spoked chipotle flakes, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil. Grill the chicken until cooked through, then slice it into strips. Serve the chicken in warm tortillas with your choice of toppings, such as avocado, diced tomatoes, and coriander.
2. Smoked Chipotle Black Bean Soup: Sauté onions, garlic, and spoked chipotle flakes in a pot until fragrant. Add black beans, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and spices like cumin and oregano. Simmer until the flavours meld together, and then blend the soup until smooth. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.
3. Spicy Chipotle Roasted Cauliflower: Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, spoked chipotle flakes, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven until golden and tender. The smoky heat of the chipotle flakes pairs wonderfully with the roasted cauliflower flavor.
