Oregano - Mexican

$5.00

Size

Oregano's flavor is warm, slightly sharp, and bittersweet with notes of camphor. Mexican oregano differs from Greek oregano with its citrus and mild licorice undertones. The subtle hints of citrus and lime enhance the flavor of paprika, cumin, and many chiles. Combine Mexican oregano with chile powder to create Mexican chile, stews, meats, or beans. We love sprinkling some on our homemade burritos!

Fresh, and hard to find locally

A lot of my Mexican recipes call for Mexican oregano, which is a bit milder than the Mediterranean version. Honestly, not a lot of flavor difference to my palate but I try to be true to ethnic recipes. I can’t find quality Mexican oregano here. The Mercado’s quality is questionable.

Perfect for white chicken chili

Bright and astringent, this oregano also gave nice warmth to the chicken, white beans, cumin, chile, coriander combo.
