Commonly cooked within Mexico and throughout the United States, most are roasted and peeled before being used for recipes, which is said to improve the texture and flavor of the pepper.

Serrano Although they can certainly hold their own on the spicy scale, serrano peppers are most loved for their colorful presentation (originally green, they ripen to red, brown, orange or yellow) and low-labor preparation; difficult to dry due to their meaty texture, they are most commonly used in their unpeeled, unsteamed form or sometimes roasted whole. Additionally, they blend in easily, which makes them well suited for spreads, guacamole, relishes, sauces and seasonings.

Aji rojo/ limone These are Peruvian peppers classed as c. baccatuum, not far genetically from the c. chinense or habanero types. Extremely long late-season peppers, the majority of the crop doesn't mature until October. They have a similar flavor to habaneros, but a milder punch. Essential for their flavor in Peruvian sauces. Cream is often included in the sauce, because it tames them a bit.
