besides 
(cause I already use them in that)
they're really tasty! But since you can only buy them by the can I'd like to have multiple things I can make them with/ways to use them

do they even use chipotles in any of their menu items? I can't remember a single one
Blend them up with a little mayo and a pinch of garlic and onion
You got yourself a primo dip and sauce my friend
Very good idea, no blender but I can mince + mash them up a bit and that should work... probably
on a green chili vegan cheeseburger... yummy... i love peppers.
Oh yeah, sounds
I hope you get some good suggestions but in case nothing stands out for you, you can put the extra chipotles in a plastic bag or Tupperware and freeze them and then use as needed.
Red chilaquiles?
Edit: if you're lucky, you can also buy them dry and rehydrate them, but that's a lil bit more work
Can? Are they in oil? I usually get chipotles dry, as they are hust dried and smoked red jalapenos.
But either way you can make chili bases that are friendly with oil. Make a salsa roja with chipotle. Make salsa macha. Make red chili sauce base (heat and blend smooth in oil), you can make many dishes with it including classic enchiladas (doesn't even need a filling - just tortillas and sauce).
The ones that I've seen come in adobo sauce. They're amazing in chili with some other peppers -- I like to use fresh Anaheims and poblanos, and unfortunately I can only get canned Hatch. All four of those together? By their powers combined,
God. That is an absolutely incredible idea, and I will be stealing it next time I make a chili (which I should do soon, actually). Sadly the last time I saw fresh Hatch chiles was 4 years ago. Fresh peppers are just amazing.
I dont think i've seen dried where I shop but I'll look again, all of what I found at my store was the kind that come in a can with adobo. But I know there are a lot of dried pepper varieties available (which I would also like to learn to cook with) so I might have missed just missed them
those are great ideas, thanks! Sadly I don't have a blender so I can't make all of the recipes in this thread, although I would like to. I would really love to get a small batch food processor eventually. I think I would put it to good use tbh.
A big mortar and pestle is the old way, if you have one of those!
With adobo means you basically have a complex chutney with way more than chilis in it. I'd use it as condiment or a way to add flavor to something savory I'm cooking like a soup or soy curls.
You can bake them into bread. The easy way might be to buy canned dough. Various sauces are only made better with chipotle. Simmer some with sugar or something sweet and some soy sauce, water and vinegar, and you could make a syrupy glaze. Any kind of salsa if you have a decent blender
if you have a decent blender
I do not 
If you're planning on some knifework, uhhh... Wear gloves
LOL there are posts in my history somewhere about my first run in with using serranos. pepper hands for 2/3 hours then they came back for a bit the next day.
The horror story that I heard from my grandparents was that a family friend, when he was much younger, had an incident where he had been chopping habaneros right before he went on his first date with some girl. The date went very, very well for them until it very, very suddenly didn't. 
Can confirm that shit is NOT A GAME WASH YER DAMN HANDS LIKE 50 TIMES. Or maybe just chop them off and replace them with new hands just to be sure
If they're the ones in Adobe sauce I sometimes just eat em from the can with tortilla chips. Otherwise, you can blend thar shir into anything. Also chilli oil! Just simmer some oil.woth your chillies.
i'm curious about that too, i got a can of chipotles a long while back but haven't tried using it yet
