Jalapeños are a beloved chilli known for their bright green colour and moderate heat. They are used in everything from traditional Mexican salsas and tacos to dive bar-style gooey nachos and jalapeño poppers. Their firm skin means they hold up well to pickling, deep-frying and barbecuing, and creative cooks generally find they hold up well to whatever you try them in. They provide a pop of colour for Southern-stye cream biscuits and cornbread, and some unexpected heat in ice creams or sweet and sticky candied jalapeños. Jalapeños are also smoked and dried to make chipotle chilies, and are a key ingredient in pepper jelly.
