Chipotle in adobo is naturally vegan and still the best smoky ingredient

This is something I did not know until recently: traditional chipotle in adobo sauce is made from smoked jalapeños, tomato, vinegar, and aromatics. No animal products. It is accidentally vegan and it is the most efficient smoky flavor addition available. For vegan burritos specifically: one or two chipotles pureed into a salsa base, or minced and stirred into refried beans, adds a smokiness and depth that would otherwise require long cooking processes. Most commercial brands are vegan but check the label — a few add ingredients that are not.
