I wouldn’t consider these as versatile as the similar version of onions (not the “onion chips” but the crispy crunchy onion pieces that’s sold in a similar canister). They didn’t go as well with some of the stir fries I tried them in. However, they went great with tacos! I would buy them again, but probably not super often as I would only want to use them with specific dishes. It’s nice that they have a kick without being full on, mouthwatering “get me water right now!” level spicy. I feel like it might’ve been nice if the pieces were a little bit smaller, though.

These taste great with tortilla soup & they’re fantastic with TJs cottage cheese. I do wish they were baked or made with less oil, though.

100% agree with Anonymous. Vivrant Jalapeno flavor without being hot, hot, hot. Just the right amount of crisp and salt. Winner !

I just bought the crispy jalapeño pieces rereleased in the new packaging. I was a major fan of the former product in the can, the coating tasted great and the heat was not overwhelming. The new vacuum packed product may have the same fried coating but the jalapeño pieces are much hotter than the old ones and you cannot taste anything but the heat. Very disappointing change.

Robert – agreed – they seem hotter and not as much flavor. Part of it seems to be salt – I added half a teaspoon of fine sea salt to the bag and shook it up well… better – still not as flavorful as the ones in a can. A shame.
