HERDEZ Pepper Paste Trio, Chipotle (Hot), Guajillo (Medium), Ancho & Pasilla (Mild) 7 oz Squeeze Pouch with Easy Close Twist Cap (3 Pack)– Bold Mexican Flavor & Dried Chile Pepper Alternative

I wanted a way to add various pepper flavors in cooking (such as homemade macaroni & cheese or rice dishes). This assortment from Herdez, a familiar brand in Mexican cooking condiments, has been perfect. Three different pepper types (various heat levels and LOTS of vivid flavor), in concentrated pastes (roughly like tomato paste in consistency), in squeeze bags with screw lids. They're holding up just fine, refrigerated, months after I opened them.

I bought the 3 pack that had hot, medium and mild (I forgot this by the time it arrived and I used it ;-)The hot is on a scale, for me, of being about an 8 (of 10 is too hot for me to enjoy) I realize that this is a personal reference but let me just say, I enjoy "heat" as a flavor but not heat for hotness sake - I would never be in any hot eating contest.The flavor is really bold, strong, and you will have to judge for yourself if you like it - I did.I used them on pork chops and on tri-top cubes that I used for tacos (added cheese, olive and sour cream)

We cook a lot, used to buy lot of dry pepper that end up in the garbage but now we do have what we need and it taste much better than the dry thing

Flavors are great, only wish it came in a larger quanity.

These may be my new addiction! So delicious, I have been using them in so many dishes.

These are decent alternatives to chili pods if you want something quick and easy but it does not have the same taste or consistency as chili pods.

These pastes are really great for a blast of flavor to your dishes whether you’re making a Mexican hash or pulled chicken, even chili!

These were great to add as a substitute for the real thing.
