Meat your new favorite Mexican chile, a.k.a. Morita, the star of this jerky’s show. Haven’t heard of the piquant pepper? The bright red jalapeño is one of two chipotles (the other is Meco) with the fruitiest post-smoking profiles, and it yields notes of mole-inspired chocolatey sweetness and just the right kick. The result: a delightfully chewy munchable whether you’re on a hike or on the couch (might we suggest Netflix and chile-ng?).
Tip of the Tongue:
Chopped up, it’s a bold addition to any snack spread, but especially alongside fruit, nuts and veggies.
