The word "chipotle" now brings up images of chain restaurants, but chipotle obviously didn't come from a marketing department. It came from the pepper, whose flavors are primarily smoky, but also hints of sweet in its make-up as well. It brings all the complexity to the crema that sits on top of these mighty meatloaves.
