ROTEL brand tomatoes and chilies are a very popular staple in Southwest Louisiana. That brand of tomatoes is used in so many Cajun dishes, that many of us just say, “Add the Rotel.” Rotel is a 10 oz can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, packed in its own juice. It is sold as mild in a green can, although that version is nicely spicy, and two different red cans where you pick your spiciness. It is used in recipes, never by itself. If you can’t find the ROTEL brand, just look for any canned product consisting of diced tomatoes and green chilies.
