Tips & Warnings

• Substitute pequin or serrano chiles for Tabasco chiles if you prefer.
• You can also roast chiles over an open fire or gas burner to blister the skin.
• Be careful when working with chiles; they can actually burn your skin. If you know you're sensitive to chiles, wear gloves. Otherwise, try not to touch the seeds or insides of the chiles.

on 6/22/2009 Instead of one type of chile I use a combination of habeneros, tobasco chiles, and sweet peppers.
