The jalapeño is the most familiar chili pepper in the United States, hot enough to notice and mild enough to eat whole.
Jalapeño poppers, a bar food staple, are halved peppers stuffed with cream cheese or cheddar, then breaded and fried or wrapped in bacon and smoked. At taquerias the peppers are served as chiles toreados, blistered on the griddle with onions, soy or lime and salt. Barbecue joints and grills char them over wood until the skin blackens and the flesh turns sweet.
Stuffed and bacon-wrapped versions cost more than roasted peppers. On SemFood, 8 orders from $3.49 to $12.49.
