How spicy is chile tepin?

Chile tepín is very hot despite its tiny size, delivering intense, sharp heat that fades relatively quickly.

Chile tepín is used to make fiery salsas, hot sauces, and infused oils, and is crushed over soups, beans, and stews for a spicy kick.

Crush or grind the tiny chiles and add sparingly — a small amount provides big heat. Toast lightly first for extra flavor.
