In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers and garlic;
cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft.
Add some chopped chipotle peppers with the adobo sauce, the amount depending on
how spicy you want the dish ( 1 pepper and 1 tablespoon of sauce will yield a spicy
bowl of mussels). Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add mussels and wine, stir everything together and cover the pot. Cook for about
4 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
Add butter and cilantro, mix well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
