Chipotle?

[Esaias]

I bought a jar of chipotle peppers. They're in some kind of brown sauce stuff ("mole"?), tastes pretty good, medium heat, nice chipotle flavor.

So, besides dumping them in my chile or beans'n'rice, what can be done with them?

Should I use them for a sauce of some kind? Use them to cook with and flavour meat? Dump them on my scrambled eggs? Make a mayo or ranch type dressing with them and use on toasted sandwiches?

Any ideas?
