That is what I used to add when i didn't use the chipotle chili powder.
I also like frsh Jalapenos, but I just use a few. I like to get the flavor without too much heat. Fresh Jalapenos are not really that hot when you are adding a few to a big pot of chili. I used to grow and can my own jalapenos. when I would open a jar I would dump them in a food processor and turn them into paste. that way I could easily control how much to add.
But my favorite use of jalapenos is on cheese nachos. And I like the slices for that.
