We are not talking about the same pepper dick breath.



chiltepe:

A rare chile from Oaxaca wiith a medium heat. It is a bright orange-red color, thin, usually curved, and tapering to a point. It measures up to 2 inches long and 1/4 to 3/8 inch across at the shoulders. The chiltepe is thin fleshed, and it has a bright flavor with nutty and sun-dried tomato tones The chiltepe is primarily used in sauces and pestos, and it is an excellent choice for grinding into chile flakes.

The chiltepin we are talking about is a small round pepper about the size of a pea.

And way hotter than a chiltepe.
