Dear Chile-Heads: In the past few months I have become acquainted with two exellent Mexican products. One is "Valentina Salsa Picante" which is available in both a "regular milder" and an "extra hot" version. It is sold in the local Walmart here, as well as in the Mexican grocery stores. I particularly like it on raw vegetables such as tomato, broccoli and cauliflower. The other is "Mi Costeñita Semillas Tostadas Con Sal" (Roasted Pumpkin Seeds With Salt). They are similar to "pepitas" but a bit crunchier. They also have a version called "Semillas Enchiladas" (Roasted Pumpkin Seeds With Chili), but it is not really all that hot; and I prefer the plain salted ones to the "enchilada" variety. These, you might have to find in only Mexican supermarkets. My local Mexican store has a whole wall of dried seeds and nuts from the "Mi Costeñita" company, which also makes other products like pickled jalapeños. Bon Appétit!
