Salt, Spicy and Everything Nice! Made simply from chile de arbol, it is perfect for adding a deep, intense and yet neutral heat to all sorts of food. The neutrality of it is great because it is not cuisine-specific. It could be added to your morning Huevos Rancheros and to your evening Mapo Tofu. As you please! 

The best part? You can add in other seasonings from the ones mentioned in this article to achieve your preferred flavors, though the goal is to keep it generic enough to be able to include it in any number of dishes later on. Ole Rico’s chile ensures that each dish is bursting with authentic Meixcan-style flavor, ready to be enjoyed around the table with friends and family.
