jalapeño
Spicy green pod
A jalapeño is a small to medium-sized chili pepper, typically green but red when fully ripe, with moderate heat.
Jalapeños are common in Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking, often sliced raw for nachos, pickled for sandwiches, or smoked to make chipotles: The jalapeño poppers were stuffed with cream cheese.
