thats a spicy cupcake
chocolate chipotle cupcakes topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon..
and since i pureed the entire can of chipotle peppers.. so much chipotle to use...
so dinner the day was chipotle grilled pork loin...
butterflied the pork loin slices and pounded them out... then marinated them in a combination of garlic, chipotle puree, brown sugar, and salt/pepper. served on mashed potatoes with a side of homemade pico.
