How to Use This Pepper

Toast

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast chiles 10–15 seconds per side until fragrant, do not burn.

Rehydrate

Blend & Cook

Blend into sauces, salsas or moles. Add to stews and braises for deep, layered flavor.

Do's

  • Toast chiles briefly to enhance flavor
  • Remove stems and seeds for milder heat

Don'ts

  • Don't over-toast or burn the chiles
  • Don't use moldy or damaged chiles
