🌮 Product Description:

Rico Rico’s Cascabel Dried Chiles are small, round peppers known for their distinctive rattle-like sound when shaken (hence the name “cascabel,” or “little bell”). These deep reddish-brown chiles have a thick, glossy skin and deliver a roasted, nutty flavor that’s both subtle and versatile.

Perfect for rehydration or toasting, Cascabel chiles can be blended into sauces, ground into pastes, or added whole to enhance stews, fajitas, or casseroles. Whether paired with tomatoes, tomatillos, or hearty meats, they bring authentic Mexican warmth to your cooking.
