Ranchero Dried Chile Pequin Pods – Hot Mexican Pequin Chiles 0.25 oz
Ranchero Dried Chile Pequin Pods are small but powerful Mexican dried chiles known for their bold heat, bright flavor, and traditional use in salsas and seasonings.
Chile pequin, also spelled chile piquín, delivers a hot and vibrant flavor with earthy, slightly smoky notes. Because of its intense heat, a small amount can add plenty of spice to your favorite dishes.
These dried chile pods are perfect for preparing salsas, hot sauces, soups, stews, marinades, beans, meats, and chile oils. They can be toasted, crushed, ground, or blended into recipes for authentic Mexican heat.
The 0.25 oz package is a convenient pantry size for specialty cooking and adding bold flavor to everyday meals.
Preparation Tip: Toast lightly on a comal or skillet to bring out deeper aroma, then crush or grind into sauces and seasonings. Use sparingly, as chile pequin is very hot.

Easy peasy….simple to order, delivered quickly….always easy‼️
You guys are The Best! Only place to find Pico Pica which I have used since 1988. Found it in a Diner in Scotts Valley, CA.
Great Salsa Macha! Very hot and tasty.
La Victoria sauces are great! My favorites are Salsa Brava and the green MEDIUM (not mild) Taco Sauce. Thank you. Please make the green medium taco sauce more available!
So easy to get what you need because the prices are so good and the process so easy. Fast shipping too.
Very good packaging received in great shape. This was a replacement for one I bought from you about a year or two ago that broke during our recent move. So I know good packaging is very important!
So easy to start using because it's pre-cured (think that's what it's called) it's so easy to start using right away.
The Olla makes a BIG difference with the taste of the beans! I also have the smaller version I use to make Cafe De Olla.
My next purchase will be a clay Comal for the tortillas.
One of the best salsa out there try it is awesome 💪🏾😎
