Probably a silly question but I don't want to mess up my guacamole! The recipe calls for both!. Thank you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
As other said, no, Jalepenos are a type of chile!.!.!. although not all chili's are jalepenos!.

Sometimes jalepenos are called "green chiles" when sold in a can!.

Chipotles are jalepenos that have been smoked and/or dried!. They're usually sold in small tins and in a vinegar-based adobo sauce!.

Other chiles include the habenero (very hot), the poblano (not so hot) and the pepperoncini (very mild)!.

Sweet bell peppers are generally not referred to as chiles even though they technically are!.

If you're flustered, my favorite chile to add zing to great guacamole is the serrano pepper; slightly small and a bit hotter than jalepenos, buy them fresh and then remove the seeds and ribs (this is where most of the heat is anyway)!. I think they give the guac a fresher bite than jalepenos!.

If I had to guess, the recipe difference may be that it means Jalepenos, as in the fresh kind and jalapeno chiles as in the canned kind!.

Why no love for fresh chiles in guac!? I agree, leave out the tomato (mostly) but a fresh chile or two is great!. A little cayenne powder works too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope!. Lots of different chiles and jalapeno is one of them!. Pretty easy to grow!.

EDIT: If you're ever in a hurry and want a passable guacamole, add a little GOOD chunky (not too runny) salsa to the avacados along with some lime juice!. Poor substitute, but!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You will totally mess up your guacamole by adding that chile to it!!!

I have no idea at all why recipes call for tomatoes and tomatos or Japs and Jap chile!!!

I would choose one or the other then toss them all in the trash and have very good guac!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If the recipe calls for both, then I would think that they would be different things!. Maybe you should research just in case!. I have no clue!. But, why would a recipe call for the same thing 2 times, I mean seriously!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
