Tampico Puya Chili Pods – Chile Puya Seco 2 oz
Tampico Puya Chili Pods, also known as Chile Puya Seco, are dried Mexican chiles known for their bright heat, fruity flavor, and rich red color.
Puya chiles are similar in appearance to guajillo chiles, but they are typically smaller, hotter, and fruitier. Their bold flavor makes them a great choice for adding spice and depth to salsas, sauces, marinades, meats, chicken, fish, pasta fillings, and even pizza toppings.
These dried chile pods can be toasted, soaked, diced, or blended into a smooth puree to bring authentic Mexican flavor and heat to your favorite recipes.
The 2 oz package is a convenient pantry size for home cooking and traditional Mexican dishes.
Preparation Tip: Rinse lightly if needed. To rehydrate, soak in warm water for about 10 minutes or add directly to recipes that will simmer. For deeper flavor and more heat, lightly toast on a comal or griddle for 3–4 minutes, being careful not to burn.

Great timesaver! Brush them with melted butter or lard and pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes. Delicious!
Great product and very durable!
They are yummy and just the right size.
Thank you Mex Grocer for caring my favorite taco sauce.
Amazingly fast delivery. Will order again from this company.
Haven't tried this yet but will soon.
Just what we needed for extra heat!
great
Husband loves it. It's his personal plate.
Packaged well shipped and arrived as scheduled
Great stuff
Been loving these for a long time back in California- can’t find them here in north Texas, just like the hot sauce I prefer
MexGrocer is a lifesaver! Can’t find my favorite Mexican products locally? No problem they’ve got me covered every time. Thank you!
Excellent!
Since 1991 I have LOVED Herdez. It provided me the only 'authentic' salsas I could use to make dishes I missed after returning from deployment. After I left CA for MO and them MD, it became harder and harder to find Herdez in stores (even Walmart) and the special (hot) versions were never available. MexGrocer.com provided that ability and I can now continue to make dishes for friends and family that taste somewhat like the 'authentic' dishes made for me as a child by sister's Isabelle & Victoria in my home town of Dinuba. It is a gift that Herdez can provide to you as well and if you cannot find it at your local grocer, you can at Mexgrocer.com. Thank You!
