Hard

A medium-heat chili pepper that adds a bright, grassy warmth to Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. Jalapeños are versatile — used fresh, pickled, roasted, or stuffed.
Remove seeds and ribs for less heat. Wear gloves when handling and avoid touching your eyes. Roast or char for a smoky flavor. Pickle sliced jalapeños for tacos and nachos. Stuff with cream cheese and wrap in bacon.
