Chiltepin
Pepper

These tiny peppers pack a solid punch. The quality and freshness is excellent. Ground up with a mortar and pestle, they bring the heat to your favorite sauce or dish. These would make great gift for anyone who enjoys cooking spicy food.

I found these to be really nice. Adds some flavor and some heat to your dishes. I tried them out with in a beans mixture I made for burritos and liked the result. Give them a try!

I made an Alison Roman pasta salad and used these peppers as the heat. They enhanced the flavor of the tomatoes without killing the subtlety of the dressing; there's a smooth heat on the back end. Very nice.

Excellent quality and flavor. The heat is distinct and flavorful. Compared to Chili Pequin (the cultivated varietal of Chiltepin) it is less sharp and peppery and more "fruit" forward on the palate. I've ordered these 3 times, and there is some variety in the color, but the flavor and quality has been consistent. I generally prepare them in a molcajete with just ripe tomatoes and the flavor and heat come through very well. I'd definitely buy in bulk if they offered the option.

I was genuinely surprised by how much heat these tiny little peppers bring to the table. When I first opened the jar the smoky aroma immediately caught my attention and I knew they would be perfect for my homemade salsa. You really only need to crush up a couple of them to get a noticeable kick which means this small jar will last much longer than I originally expected. The heat builds gradually and leaves a wonderful lingering warmth without completely overpowering the other flavors in the dish. They have a very authentic and earthy taste that you just cannot get from standard grocery store pepper flakes. It is a fantastic ingredient to keep on hand when you want to elevate a simple meal. I am really enjoying experimenting with these in different recipes and they have quickly become a staple in my kitchen.

These peppers are fantastic for spice lovers! The jar is small, but the peppers seem like good quality and they appeared like good quality peppers. The flavor was as expected and these are perfect to use in a pepper grinder. You can also use these in a food processor if you don't have a grinder. The peppers are fantastic on pizza, in pastas, hot sauces, on steaks... There are so many uses for these! The value for what you get is pretty good. The level of heat is perfect and as expected for chiltepin peppers. Overall, I'm happy with these and my husband especially loved them! These would make a fantastic stocking stuffer for spicy lovers as well!
