This spicy marinade owes its unusual flavor to the

chipotle, a smoked jalapeno chile. Chipotles are

usually sold canned in tomato paste. Look for them at

Mexican and Latin American markets. Adobo marinade

goes particularly well with pork.

Juice the oranges and lime. Finely chop chilies and garlic. Place citrus juices, chilies, garlic,

oregano, cumin, black pepper, vinegar and salt in

blender and puree until smooth.

1 1/2 to 2 pounds meat or chicken. --
