I use them to make my green chile sauce along with green chilies. Jalapenos are not always hot 'n spicy, but you can always count on habaneros!!

If you want a really hot pepper, try Bhut Jolokia. They are from India and they have been recorded as the HOTTEST pepper IN THE WORLD. But use caution when cleaning, using, eating or whatever else
