Chipotle powder? I may have to improvise as I live on the south coast of

England.It may just be that we call it something else.

Caroline, chipotles are smoked dried jalapeno chiles. I have found

whole dried chipotles in a large Tesco store here in Scotland or in a

local specialist Spanish/Mexican food store. I have also found

chipotles in adobo sauce in Sainsburys. All of the other ingredients

should be readily available.
