Thanks to all the kind answers to my request for info about habanero flakes
and to Doug for his answer...Surprised I didn't hear from Rael.
For the very first time today I found HOT food at the local Hy Vee store
here in our little town of 4000. Another lady and I  just stood and looked
and drooled. I managed to keep it down to 3 purchases.  I got
Herdez  salsa verde in 7 oz can.
Herdez  Salsa Casera 'Hot' 12 oz jar (says it is Mexico's favorite)
San Marcos Chilpotle Peppers in adobo sauce 7 oz can

Does anyone have any comments on my selection? I have been saving recipes so
will start trying them all out this week end.
Earlier this winter I bought Bilardo Brothers Tangy Tomatillo Salsa. Hot.
Haven't opened it-had been saving it for Super Bowl and I was down with my
back so didn't do much except open nacho cheese sauce and open a bag of
chips and slice up some jalapenos I pickled last fall. Didn't even feel like
eating.

We suspect the interest in the Mexican food comes from the fact that our new
Hormel plant is importing a labor force.  I had complained for 5 years about
not having  good Mexican food and that didn't seem to help. Glad something did.

Now if I can lay my hands on some bottles of good sauces.
