Chilé Limón

I like spicy hot food.  To an extent.  When I was growing up in New England, I thought Italian spaghetti sauce was too spicy hot, and I did not like it.  But, in 1977, I moved to Texas and was introduced to Tex-Mex food, and I found that I liked it, and that I liked jalapeños if they were not too hot. Over the years, I have developed a taste for spicy hot food, be it Mexican or Oriental.  I even find myself having "withdrawal symptoms" if I do not have spicy foods for some time.

Last weekend, when I went grocery shopping, I found some Chilé Limón chips from Herdez http://www.herdeztraditions.com/.   I bought a bag, and some queso cheese http://www.ricos.com/ I have purchased the queso before, but not the chips.  I like hot but these chips are much hotter than I enjoy.  I eat very few before I find my mouth is burning hotter than I prefer. When I eat them with queso, I find that even though I slather them with queso, the queso does not quell the heat of the chips.

I will not buy these chips again.  On the other hand, I am eating very few chips at a time, which is good for my diet.
