What it is
This is a savory spread made with roasted Hatch chiles and jalapenos, blended with other ingredients to create a flavorful condiment.

The texture is typically smooth and spreadable, making it versatile for various culinary applications. It is designed to add a distinctive Southwestern flavor profile to dishes.
How people cook with it
This spread is ideal for adding a kick of flavor to appetizers and main courses. It can be used as a dip, a spread, or a cooking ingredient.
- Dip for chips and vegetables
- Spread on sandwiches and wraps
- Mix into dips and sauces
- Flavoring for grilled meats
Open the jar and stir the spread to ensure even consistency. For dips, combine it with cream cheese or sour cream for a richer flavor. As a sandwich spread, apply a thin layer directly onto bread or tortillas before adding other fillings. When cooking, it can be incorporated into marinades for chicken or pork, or stirred into chili and stews to enhance their depth of flavor. It also works well as a topping for baked potatoes or roasted vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a simple hot sauce, this spread offers a more complex flavor profile due to the roasting of the chiles. It also has a thicker, more substantial texture than most liquid hot sauces, allowing it to adhere better to food and provide a more satisfying mouthfeel.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to add a spicy and flavorful element to their meals.
