Growing from 3 to 5 inches in length, the aji panca has a somewhat thick flesh that matures from a green to dark red in color. This chile is mild in heat intensity and provides a fruity, berry-like flavor that goes well in stews, sauces and fish dishes. Ají Panca or Colorado is a big, red purplish ají, which is typically sun-dried and ground before using. It's tasteful yet not very spicy, and thus used across a wide variety of dishes. Served as a condiment, it is also known as Ají Especial. It has a wonderful sun dried flavor.

That processes out nearly all of the "hotness" of the pepper but preserves the flavor. Same goes for the other variety of Peruvian hot peppers. **Q: Which of these inca’s pastes would be best for a “tex-mex” flavor? I have a recipe that calls for a “tex mex paste”.** A: In order to get Tex-Mex flavor in a dish , jalapeño, tomato, onion,garlic, cilantro and lime would be the the main ingredients to obtain that distinctive taste. The Inca paste is for Peruvian dishes. Bon appetite! **Q: It is spicy???** A: If you mean is it hot, yes. If you mean does it include an array of diced, no. This paste is made from Peruvian peppers. It is not "breathtaking" in it's heat, but a staple of the national cuisine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adds authentic Peruvian flavor *by K***S on March 17, 2026* I looked everywhere for this ingredient to recreate sopa criolla soup that we had in Peru.
