Tepin Chiles are often ground and added to cream sauces and soft cheeses before serving to provide a bold contrast to creamy food. They can also be fermented by soaking them in a saltwater brine for a few days and then blended into a hot sauce.
Chiltepin chiles have a Scoville Heat Unit rating of 50,000-100,000 compared to Jalapenos which measure 2,500-8,000 SHU.
It's spicy, bright flavor is home in Mexican recipes. Use early when cooking a pot of hot Texas chili if you want the them to infuse the entire pot with flavor, or sprinkle some ground Tepin chiles over the top of your finished dish for a burst of bright and smoky heat.
