Color: When is fresh, it's a Chile Poblano, and once it matures, it changes to a red color. To dry them, the fresh chile poblanos are left on the plant until they are mature and had a red color. After that, they are sun-dried. So just to be 100% sure: The red ripened Jalapenos I get can be added to the smoker for 3 hours using pecan chips to flavor and it will get all that divine flavor we need and enjoy from using the fully dried out Chipotles? Sometimes, if you get confused between the Ancho and Mulato pepper, just place the two of them together and the one that has a darker color is a Chile Mulato. Its skin has the same characteristics as an Ancho pepper, and the same dimensions. Guajillo: Long and thin, with dark-red skins, guajillo chiles are hotter than anchos (below), with a brighter character. Combine both varieties with pasillas (also below) for a balance of brightness, richness, and heat.

Wash them and dry them off. You can remove the stems if you like, but I prefer to leave them on like little handles. If you don't use gloves, as many of us do, but still feel a little burning sensation in your hands or fingers, dip them in cold milk to soothe the feeling. Milk also helps to reduce the burning sensation if your food is too spicy for your taste. Buy A New Batch Every Few Months

Shape: The Piquín pepper has a small but elongated shape, measuring about ¼” long and ⅛” in width. The Chile Tepin is very similar but is round. Chiles de arbol increase the heat level of your chilli paste, so I do like to add 1 or 2 to the mix. The pepper is mild in heat but has a lot of flavors, almost fruity and smoky at the same time. I like to use Pasilla in salsas or stews that have a combination of tomatoes and tomatillos.
