Learning by doing

So I made chili last night, this time with black beans. My store didn't have my usual local brand of canned green chiles, and the national brand was too pricey. So I decided to try chipotle chiles canned in adobo sauce. I put too many in and the chili was too hot. But the flavor is excellent. As I'm eating it I pick out most of the chiles and it's all right to eat. I wish the chipotles came in a smaller can because I don't know of anything else I'd like to use them in, and hate to waste food these days. I should look into getting this kind of adobo sauce (a thick tomato and chile puree with seasonings) but without the pepper pieces because it does add quite a nice flavor. I use an adobo seasoning salt instead of garlic salt for a lot of things.
