Make the butter: In a food processor, add chipotle peppers, salt, cinnamon, cumin, lime zest, black pepper. Pulse ingredients, scrape sides down, pulse again. Add butter and pulse until combined. It doesn't have to be smooth, leave flecks of chipotle pepper and zest. Set aside. You can do this ahead and keep in your fridge up to a week. If you don't have a food processor, mince the peppers and zest and place in a small bowl with the other ingredients. Stir in the butter.
