The brand in the big floppy bag with green lettering that all of the
groceries here have comes in different flavors - they have a pesto
(in case you want italian burritos, I guess...), sundried tomato, and
a jalapeno variety. There is just the very very slightest twang of
heat to let you know that there was indeed a jalapeno in the mixture,
probably one jalapeno for every 40 pounds of tortillas, but...
I did see a chipotle one at Marsh, but just one out-of-date bag, and
when Cub Foods was closing all of their stores, I saw one that was
"red pepper" (which red pepper we'll never know), but it had mold on
it... But, that means that that brand makes/made those flavors, I
guess....
Anyone with a tortilla press should easily be able to heat up his
tortillas by adding ground peppers, I'd think... But, then, I've
never made tortilla one...
