Serrano chile?? Chile is the name of a country in South America; “chili” is the spelling for members of the capsicum family. This error is irritatingly ubiquitous in the recipe websites. Chile is pronounced ‘chee-leh’ and chili is pronounced, ‘chee-lee’, or pronounce both as ‘chilly’, but spell them correctly.
Anent the recipe: it looks great, but to me, the Serrano chili tastes much better than the jalapeño.
