Meco chipotles are native to Mexico and are also known as chipotle meco or tipico. They are fully ripened jalapenos, meaning they've been allowed to mature and turn red on the vine. Then they are dried, and it takes about 10 pounds of fresh peppers to make one pound of dried. They have wrinkled, dark brown skin and a sweet, chocolate-like, smoky flavor. "Meco" Chipotle chiles are mature jalapenos that are left on the bush even longer than those that are picked as red jalapenos
