  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.
