Description

Original Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies is a typical ingredient in Tex-Mex and Southwestern U.S. cuisine, very popular for adding flavor and a spicy touch to various recipes such as salsas, stews, soups, dips, and dishes with meat or chicken.

This product consists of fresh tomatoes diced into cubes, combined with spicy green chilies, usually jalapeños or serranos, which provide a slightly spicy and tangy flavor, ideal for enhancing the taste of your preparations.

Origin: The Rotel brand has its roots in Texas and is known for offering this ready-to-use blend, inspired by traditional Mexican and Texan flavors.

Properties: Tomatoes provide vitamins A and C, lycopene, and antioxidants, helping to improve cardiovascular health and skin. Green chilies, in addition to their characteristic flavor, contain capsaicin, which can boost metabolism and provide an anti-inflammatory effect. Furthermore, this product is low in calories and an excellent way to add flavor without additional fats.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Depending on the country, you might find this type of ingredient described as diced tomato with green chilies, diced jitomate with green chili (in Mexico), or simply tomato and chili blend. In some places, it is also called diced tomatoes with jalapeño chilies or tomato with green aji (in South American countries).
