Most recipes only call for 1-2 chipotle peppers or 1-2 tablespoons of minced chipotle peppers so you are left with an open can of smoky, spicy goodness.  I love spice, but that is a lot of chipotle peppers to use up before their fridge life expires!  To make the most of your worthy investment, I suggest freezing chipotle peppers. They only take a few minutes to prep and are easy to pull out any time you need them. YOU CAN FREEZE WHOLE CHIPOTLE PEPPERS OR IN 1 TABLESPOON INCREMENTS: To freeze them whole: Spread the peppers out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and flash freeze for 1-2 hours until solid. Once solid, cut the parchment wrap apart, individually wrap each pepper, then store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To freeze chipotle peppers by the tablespoon: Spread parchment paper out on a baking sheet or line an ice tray with plastic wrap. Next, mince the chipotle peppers without the sauce, (or you can use a food processor), and plop them onto the parchment in 1 tablespoon increments a few inches apart or place them in each ice cube compartment.  Flash freeze for 1-2 hours until solid, then cut the parchment/plastic wrap apart, individually wrap each tablespoon, and store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To freeze adobo sauce: Freeze the sauce with the chipotle peppers or freeze it separately in 1 teaspoon increments because it is super potent!
