Diced Ro-Tel tomatoes with peppers

Diced Ro-Tel tomatoes with peppers is a canned ingredient that combines ripe diced tomatoes with pieces of spicy peppers or jalapeños, offering a mix of vibrant flavors and a moderate spicy touch. This product is very popular in Tex-Mex and Southern U.S. cuisine, where it is used to add flavor and texture to dishes such as chili, sauces, stews, soups, and dips.

The origin of Ro-Tel comes from the American company Ro-Tel, founded in Texas, famous for its tomato and chili sauce that is a staple in many home recipes in the southern United States and Mexico. Its combination of tomatoes and chilies provides a balance between the sweetness of the tomatoes and the spiciness of the peppers, making it easy to prepare dishes with authentic flavor without the need for many additional ingredients.

Among its properties, this ingredient provides lycopene, an antioxidant present in tomatoes that helps fight free radicals. In addition, it contains vitamins A and C, and dietary fiber from tomatoes and peppers, contributing to digestive health and the immune system.

In different Hispanic American countries, diced Ro-Tel tomatoes with peppers may be known simply as "canned tomatoes with chili", "diced tomatoes with peppers", or "tomato and chili mix". There is no exact commercial synonym because Ro-Tel is a specific brand, but in the region, similar products can be found under generic names that describe the mixture of canned tomatoes and chilies.

This ingredient is ideal for those looking to add a spicy and fresh touch to their recipes without complications and with the convenience of a ready-to-use product.
