Dehydrated chipotle peppers. I add them to my chili for an extra kick, I put them in my dehydrated burrito meat, and I use them in my tamale goulash recipe. I also dehydrate the hot La Victoria brand salsas for burritos and tacos. Tortillas carry well for at least the first few days of a trip, so I tend to be heavy on Mexican entrees for the first few days of a long hike.
