Use them whole, crushed, grinded into powder, or rehydrated and blended. Blended pequin works great in hot sauces and salsas like salsa roja or salsa macha. You can also add dried chile pequin peppers directly to chili, tortilla soup, or posole for extra flavor. For a savory dry rub, crush them with cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. Our premium pequin peppers are compact yet incredibly impactful.
