Cooking Tip

Chile de Arbol

Chile de Arbol, Arbol Chile, or Red Chile are dried chilies that are very hot. A little bit of one of these peppers goes a long way. They are sold in many markets and specialty stores in plastic bags. As with any chili pepper, be very careful when handling these peppers to avoid possible injury.
