Don Chilio Medium Serrano Mexican Chile Crisp — 5 oz Jar
Product description
Medium chile crisp topping made from hand-selected serrano chiles at peak ripeness. The jar contains sizeable slices of serrano peppers that retain a satisfying crunch.
Each 5 oz jar holds flash-fried serranos suspended in 100% olive oil, seasoned with a modest blend of spices. The peppers are cooked quickly to preserve texture and flavor rather than pureed into a paste.
Use it as a finishing condiment for nachos, tacos, pizza, eggs, sushi, guacamole, and many Mexican-inspired plates to introduce both heat and crunch. The large slices make it easy to spoon onto dishes or chop for incorporation into recipes.
Ingredients are straightforward: serrano peppers, 100% olive oil, and spices. There are no additives or preservatives in the recipe, which keeps the flavor profile clean and focused on the peppers.
This chile crisp suits a wide range of eating styles — vegan, paleo, keto-friendly, and gluten-free — thanks to its minimal ingredient list and simple oil base.
Pros
- Crunchy, large serrano slices
- Made with 100% olive oil
- No additives; suits many diets
Cons
- Heat can be stronger than expected
- Large pieces may deliver intense single bites
- Oil flavor may not appeal to all palates
VerdictA crunchy, naturally simple chile crisp that brings a lively serrano heat and texture. The large, flash-fried slices stand out on savory dishes and the use of 100% olive oil with no preservatives makes it diet-friendly. Heat and big pieces may not suit everyone, but it’s a versatile condiment for those who enjoy a bright pepper bite.

Flavorful with steady heat
Really tasty — not overpowering but full of pepper flavor. There’s a hotter habanero version (too intense for me). Fantastic on pizza and I dice some into guacamole.

Good stuff 5/5
Exactly the heat I wanted
Perfect amount of spice. When mixed into a dish it boosts flavor without masking the other ingredients.

Oil flavor odd to me
The oil had an unusual taste. I enjoy the habanero version but this milder option didn’t win me over.

Surprisingly spicy and crunchy
I expected smaller bits like a chile crunch; these are big serrano slices. At first I hesitated, but now I use it on everything. The slices are quite spicy and you can get a big, crunchy bite, which I like.
