Since 1897, Ortega's famous chiles have been fire-roasted for the fullest flavor. Our signature roasting process piques the flavor for an authentic Mexican taste. Our chiles are sure to spice up any meal! It all started with chile peppers! The Ortega Chile Packaging Company was born in late 1800's when Emilio, the son of Maria Conception Jacinta Dominguez Ortega, moved to California and founded the first commercial food operation to preserve and package chile peppers, seeds for which he brought with him from New Mexico. Just like Mama Ortega, Emilio took great pride in the food he prepared and focused on providing the highest quality peppers to create the very best salsas and chiles. Serving ideas: Add diced chiles to all of. your favorite dishes, as well as salsas or scrambled eggs or as part of omellets to give them authentic Mexican taste. Stuff chiles with cheese, tuna, or any fillings you like. Make delicious queso and chile quesadillas for a fun dinner choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 2.7 x 2.6 x 2.7 inches; 7.04 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/strong\u003eSee package for details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutritional value: On the product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"geo-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the heat level truly mild enough for children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
