Serrano Chilli

Serrano chilli is one of the most widely used fresh chillies in Mexico, with a sharp, clean heat and bright herbaceous flavour. It is essential in raw salsa verde, pico de gallo, and toreados (blistered chillies). It is eaten fresh, charred, or pickled. Its heat level is considerably higher than the jalapeño.
