## Description

Product description In the early 80’s, driven by the lack of authentic products in the market, the El Mexicano brand was born. What began as a small business, peddling homemade artisanal Mexican cheeses and creams to local stores, soon expanded to a state of the art production facility and hundreds of dairy packaged goods. Known best for our many authentic cheeses such as El Mexicano Queso Fresco Casero, Panela, Cotija and Oaxaca, the El Mexicano brand includes an assortment of perishable items. We now carry deli meats, desserts, probiotics, and the family classic, our El Mexicano Drinkable yogurts and smoothies. Today, El Mexicano brand is widely recognized as the market leader in authenticity, quality, and flavor. It was our vision to bring to the market products that would not only marry nostalgia and culinary traditions, but to become a staple in the kitchens of our consumers, generation after generation. Our commitment to providing the Hispanic community with the products they are accustomed to back home has allowed us to branch out into grocery and non-food products as well. This has given El Mexicano the opportunity to become a nationally recognized brand and beloved household name. El Mexicano Chili Pods is one of our many products from our extended line of grocery items.

Review: The Only Chiles for Making Authentic Salsa - A co-worker shared her amazing salsa recipe with me and I used these chiles (specifically the toasted version) to make it. Husband says it is restaurant-quality; the chiles lend the perfect flavor. Large bag will make many, many batches of salsa- excellent value.
Review: Just what I hoped for! - Having lived in southern NM for 14 years some time ago, I was totally pleased with these chile pods. The color was bright red as they should be and they were in good shape, no crumbled pods and so no waste. My method as taught to me in NM by some ladies who know is to place themin the kitchen sink, pull off the stems and shake out as many seeds as you can. Then put the pods into a pan of very hot water and let them stand for upwards of 20 minutes to soften. Pour the pan contents into a sieve set over a large pot in order to save the water. One by one take a pod out, place it on a baking sheet, cut it down one side and open it up. Use a sharp paring knife and scrape the chile "meat" off the skin. When finished, place the chile in a saucepan, add garlic and oregano to taste and enough of the chile water to make it a sauce consistency. Heat it to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Add more water as is necessary. It is now ready for enchiladas as is or what we call Chile Meat, by adding prefried chunckis of beef or pork or fried ground beef. Serve with beans on the side or add them to the pot. New Mexican Perfection!
