Turn up the heat.

Authentic Mexican flavor starts with very good ingredients, and these dried peppers are the best of the best. Choose from a mild assortment or a hot assortment.

Mild: These are best for sauces served over or alongside dishes, such as enchiladas. They're often referred to as “chile de color” -- meaning they are for color, not so much for heat. Rest assured they have plenty of flavor, but the spice level isn't over the top.

Hot: These peppers are searingly hot -- use them specifically for salsas served on the side of a meal. Add tomatoes to dial down the heat a notch if you like. The chile de arbol can be lightly fried or toasted (about 30-45 seconds) before making a salsa to give it richer, fuller-bodied flavor.

Latin America may be just be a short plane ride away, but it's often easier to find authentic European delicacies than a steaming cup of Mexican hot chocolate or perfect flour tortillas. No more: Melissa Guerra is our saving grace. Even better -- her supplies come from indigenous cooperatives whenever possible.
