 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.


 


 Makes enough marinade for 1 1/2 to 2 pounds meat or chicken.
