Chipotle Beef and Corn Salad
Chipotle chilies—fresh jalapeños that have been dried and then smoked—are preserved in a spicy, vinegary tomato sauce called adobo. Cans of chipotle chilies in adobo are available in most supermarkets. Transfer unused chilies and sauce to a glass jar with a tight cap and refrigerate for up to 6 months.
