For a quick addition, toss them into salads or pasta dishes. Their tender texture means they don't require long cooking times, making them a fast way to enhance flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh jalapeños, these rajas have been roasted, which mellows their raw heat and imparts a smoky depth. They are also pre-cut into strips, saving preparation time. Their texture is softer than fresh peppers, making them easier to incorporate into dishes where a distinct pepper bite is desired but not a firm crunch.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused rajas to a clean, airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator and use within a few days to maintain their best quality and flavor. Ensure they are kept cool to prevent spoilage.
