Uses:

Don Enrique Chile Tepin is a small, searingly hot chile. Registering an intense 8 out of 10 on the chile heat scale, this red chile has a dry, musty flavor that produces a quick burn. It is the wild form of Chile Pequin. Round or oval in shape, each Chile Tepin measures approximately 1/2 inch across. Thin flesh makes it perfect for pickling. Easily crushed and sprinkled on beans, salsas, and other Mexican dishes, Chile Tepin can also add a red-hot note to soups, sauces, and vinegars.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Don Enrique Dried Tepin Chiles are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose whole, unbroken chiles with deep color and a fresh scent. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place for up to six months or more.
