I bought these to go in a salsa recipe I found. These peppers are of superior quality and loaded with flavor! So tasty was the Roasted Tomato Cashew Salsa, I feel compelled to share the recipe so you’ll know that these peppers are the ones to buy! Delicious!!:INGREDIENTS⅓ cup cashews6 dried cascabel chiles or 3 pasilla chiles, seeds removed2 morita chiles4 large tomatoes, cored2 garlic cloves2 tablespoons fresh lime juice2 teaspoons kosher saltRECIPE PREPARATIONPreheat oven to 350°. Arrange cashews on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and chiles on the other. Toast until chiles are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove chiles from baking sheet, then continue roasting nuts, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool. Remove and discard stems from chiles.Increase oven temperature to 450°. Roast tomatoes on a clean rimmed baking sheet until skin is browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 30–35 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add garlic, lime juice, and salt; blend until smooth. Add chiles and blend until coarsely chopped. Add cashews and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 5 pulses.

Peppers were perfect for my tamal making.

Chipotle peppers are most definitely a game changer! I grind my own dried Ancho & Guajillo peppers for recipes. Store bought chili powders taste like chalk. Pffffft! Y'all throw that crap out! I ground up some of these chipotles to add to my Cajun Red Beans & Rice because I was out of Cayenne pepper. It tasted AMAZING! Best batch I ever made! They added an unexpected depth of flavor! They stood up to the garlic, Bay leaves and Thyme. I'll NEVER use Cayenne pepper again! I'm addicted to these peppers! I'm playing around with new family reunion recipe ideas so I made a batch of baked beans (Bush's Country Style Hickory & Brown Sugar canned) with hickory smoked bacon, onions, bell peppers, a little bit of Sweet Baby Ray's Brown Sugar & Hickory BBQ sauce and fresh ground SEEDED chipotles. (Yes, I saved the seeds for later!) Great real smoky flavor with a mellow heat that would be tolerable for most palates. The smokiness rounded out the sweetness too. Chipotles and bacon...a match made in heaven!Note...I didn't receive the label shown in my order history and saw nothing about the e-book recipe download when I ordered. Gi'me!

These dried chilis are so flavorful with Smokey Spicy taste.Remarkable

I'm making my own seasoning salt and these peppers are a great ingredient at a good price

Good chilies, dried or fresh, are nonexistent in the small town where I live. These chilies came vacuum-packed, and they are soft and pliable, just as they should be, and not brittle and dusty. I also purchased anchos, arbols, pessillas, and guajillos, and I haven't had chilies this good since I was in Texas. I am by no means an expert, but I love to cook and I have my aspirations, and I can say that my chili colorado, carne adovada, and chilorio have never been more flavorful.

I grind these chilies all the time for my salsas and Mexican dishes. They are great!!

Product was packaged in a heavy-gauge resealable paper-coated plastic bag. BB Date Jan 15 2023.The scent from the open bag was heavenly; made me weep, remembering my first time experience with unadulterated chipotle chiles. The chiles are clean, soft, pliable, and deeply smoked. Great jalapeño heat. Most of these chiles are headed for a homemade "en adobo" preparation. The rest will sit in a jar for the memories. Until I purchase more.
