This was delicious & a nice change from the stuff in a package. Plus I love chipotles. Everyone loved this evern when they got a BITE of chipotle, lol. Skipped the nasty cilantro, tho. 
Great photo, Kiwi!!

Loved it! Zaar's Elmotoo gave me an excellent gift of chipotle chiles in adobo and I used them for the first time. DO mix them throughly throughout the dish as they pack a fire-ry punch. That said they are wonderfully tasty and added a LOT to the dish. My jalapenos are imported ones in a jar and the beer was a Belgium dark... DH noticed little tacos in the shops in the shape of little trays so we layered everything on those. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for a very tasty dish indeed. Thanks!

OUTSTANDING!! We KNOW tacos and this was a great recipe...even better then the one I usually use, I think it will become the new family favorite. I did make one change, instead of jalapenos I used Habanero peppers. I thought they were perfect. Nice and SPICY! ZWT3

I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! Delicious, smokey, and spicy. I did leave out the cilantro though as I don't care for it. I halved the recipe so I drank the other half of the beer 
I thought the chipotle amount was right on for our tastes. I will make these again. Nick's Mom
