Herb/Chile Flavored Mexican Milks?

Posted by cookbot, January 23, 2008

On a Mexican groceries website, I saw cans of evaporated milk seasoned variously with poblanos, cilantro, chipotle, and jalapeno. For the life of me I can't imagine what these would be used for.

I asked Steve Sando, Mexcian food guru over at the Rancho Gordo website, what he knew about them, and he was baffled. Does anyone know what these oddly flavored milks would be used for?

Here's the address of the items in the store:
