Our natural Chipotle Morita packs a manageable and familiar heat, averaging between 2,500 and 8,000 (SHUs).

So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and fruity flavor! Our Chipotle Morita ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are medium-hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is consistent and approachable, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Chipotle Morita is made from fully ripened Red Jalapeños that are smoked over open fires, resulting in its deep color and intense smoky aroma. Savory Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Morita peppers have a distinctive appearance with a dark, reddish-purple color and a slightly leathery texture. They are often characterized by their rich, balsamic-like scent, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Chipotle Moritas are known to be a favorite among BBQ enthusiasts and gourmet chefs alike! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' chipotles. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in moderate doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For those who love a bold, campfire flavor, just add more directly on top!

Looking for Variety?

Enhance the profile: If you enjoy the smokiness of the Chipotle Morita but want more intensity, you can mix our granules with our hotter peppers like our Red Habanero or Ghost Pepper for a fiery-smoky blend. Alternatively, mix with our sweet dried peppers like Red Poblano Mulato Pepper to lean into the dark fruit and chocolate notes. This allows you to customize your spice level while maintaining the legendary smoke of the Morita.
