I always thought of chipotle as an ingredient--smoked jalapenos, sometimes dried, sometimes canned. What is the chipolte dish you're referring to, or were you just eating chipotle with tortilla chips?
Sounds like you're really enjoying your TKD. The chipotle gives you a secret retaliatory weapon when dealing with gringos. Dare them to hit you in the stomach...
Chipotle is the name of a chain of mexican restarants. The food is what I can buy on the street in San Diego for $0.75, but costs $6. If I lived in San Diego, this would bother me.
That's like buying New Mexican food here in Las Vegas, for twice the price because Garduno's effectively has a monopoly on the stuff, other than what we cook ourselves. Ingredients like green and red chile, Chipotle, and fat flour tortillas are available in stores here, thank goodness. Dunno about the DC area...
Seriously. The chain is owned by McDonald's, but you'd never know it. The food is prepared fresh, you can get beer and margaritas there, and the food portions are ridiculously huge.
