Desert Pepper Trading Company Authentic salsas and dips from the great Southwest. Sincere, Authentic and Original. Find them at a grocer near you.

Desert Pepper Trading Company was born and raised on the border of Texas , Mexico, and New Mexico. This amazing crux of bright flavors, sunlight, and the desert Southwest inspires us in every way.. Our flavors come from a sunswept fusion of the southwest, the open air makets of Mexico, and our own kitchens. We look backwards into the culinary traditions of the border regions and forward to global new flavors and ideas. This is a multi-generational famliy run business... that’s right, real people running a real company. Over 25 years now (where did that time go?), growth,change and more than a few margaritas later...we are still at it. Desert Pepper continues to thrill, delight and scare the hell out of us! Sincere, authentic, and original ....thats what we are all about.

A hearty fall chowder with a kick of queso! Thank you to Pamela Gelsomini's Dish off the Block for creating this recipe using our Chile con Queso, and complete with crunchy tortilla strips! 🧀🫘🍺

Here's how to make Tex Mex B**r & Queso Chicken Chowder:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large 5-6 quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeño to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. 🌶️🧄🧅 Add all of the bell peppers and the salt and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes more until the peppers start to soften.

2. Add the b**r to the pot and bring to a boil scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the Desert Pepper Chile con Queso and whisk until smooth. Add the chicken stock and cream to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a very low boil, stirring. Stir in the Minute rice and cook for 5 minutes on low.

3. Add the black beans, corn, and chopped tomatoes (including their juices) to the pot and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, letting all of the flavors meld. Add the shredded chicken and chopped cilantro to the pot. Let simmer on low until you are ready to serve.

4. To make the tortilla strips, cut the tortillas in half and stack the halves on top of each other. Slice into thin ¼ – ½” wide strips. Heat the oil in a large saucepan (or fryer) to 365 degrees. Drop the tortilla strips into the hot oil in batches and fry, tossing occasionally with tongs or a spider until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and season immediately with salt.

Serve the hot chowder in bowls and garnish with the tortilla strips, cilantro leaves, and lime wedges for squeezing. 🍋‍🟩
