Diced tomatoes and chilies are a versatile ingredient commonly used in Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Southwestern cuisines, adding robust flavor and vibrant color to dishes. Typically made with ripe tomatoes and fiery chili peppers, this combination is often found in salsas, casseroles, and stews. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium, contributing to heart health and immune support. Chilies bring a dose of capsaicin, known for its anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Low in calories and fat, this ingredient can enhance meals without adding excessive calorie content. However, it’s important to check for added sodium in canned versions, which can impact overall health if consumed in excess. Fresh or minimally processed options are ideal for maximizing nutritional benefits while keeping dishes flavorful.
