honorable mentions: habanero and chiltepin
Chile pasilla is the best one!
Guajillo x Ancho combo for me
Those arbol chiles be hitting
De arbol en salsa macha with cranberries.
How do you dry them? Once I read you smoke it a little bit but no exact instructions how to dry pasilas.
Chile rayado. Its the superior chipotle
El chile en bolsa está bueno pero el chido es el que viene en cajones, el chile encajones es el bueno
I love so many chiles! One of my favourite less-known chiles is the Costeno Amarillo, for its unique aroma and flavour. (Why no “enye” Reddit?)
El chile patuano….
Chipotle and moritas
Chile pequin is a good one that is not getting any love here. Delicious firey little flavor pods.
Ancho. I love all things poblano. It’s my favorite tasting pepper, dried or fresh.
Bell pepper
Side note: give up some love for Oaktown Spice shop. Love their work!!!😍🤤
Chile de árbol 🤘
I love Serrano
For spice, chiltepin, habanero and arbol, for flavor and more general use, guajillo.
Chiltepin master race
Guajillo + chipotle. That fruit earthy spicy combo is my fave.
I like chile de árbol, catarino, guajillo
I’m an ancho man myself. Amazing in salsa macha
we have a sauce at work that is essentially guajillo x habanero and its a perfect hot sauce.
Morita and mulato baby!
chipotle
For dried chiles I prefer Morita and Ancho, because those are the more flavorful plus Morita can be fucking hot af. For fresh I’ve always love Serrano and Habanero, pickled onions and habaneros are truly one of the most delicious things out there
I used to go crazy over Oaxaca’s – then I found great moritas. Flavor is close enough and way less expensive.
