Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you find the chipotle chiles and adobo sauce in this Smoky Three-Bean Chili recipe a little too spicy, omit them and increase the chili powder to 2 teaspoons.
  • tip 2
    Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeño chiles. They are available dry in bulk or canned in adobo, a spicy Mexican sauce made with chiles, herbs and vinegar. Chipotles and adobo add smoky and spicy flavor to dishes like three-bean chili. Look for chipotles canned in adobo sauce in your grocery store's Mexican-foods aisle.
