POPULAR MEXICAN CHILES | Knowing Them Is Loving Them | Step By Step ❤

[@missmarple2793]

Holy smokes! I need a flow chart to figure out which chili is which and all the different names they become depending on their ripeness. As usual, Rachel did an excellent job explaining them all.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much. ❤👍

[@Ladythyme]

Yes she did! But you’re right about the flow chart! Lol

[@paulafigueroa1573]

Excuse me you do not need a chart. You just buy them, one by one, and cook them, eat them and then you will have to remember that kind, because by then you already had it in your food.

[@zullo3529]

I feel the same way. But she does a great job helping and teaching.

[@marleysifuentes8663]

Yay!!!! Rachel you are awesome thank you very much for having the time to teach us what Mexican different chilis are. I’m Peruvian and like jn Mexico Peru has different Chili’s too now is going to be a lot easier to me to go to the grocery store and get the right chilies I want for different dishes with the taste of different chillies Blessings 🇵🇪🤗🤗

[@teresachavez2001]

Thanks, Rachel. There are so many chilies and many of us need this education!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend. ❤

[@motherheart1787]

I’ve always wondered how each chili can be used and for what type of dishes & sauces. Thank you for continuing to make great videos of my favorite childhood dishes.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend, thank you so much for your comment. ❤

[@glendamorgan4467]

Hi Rachel I love your videos you explain everything so well and I have always wanted to know how to use the chili's thank you so much I love you

[@mariandavis3483]

Wow! So informational Rachel! Thank you.I never knew that the name changes according to ripeness and if it had been dried, or dried and smoked. You are the best. Were you ever a teacher? You explain so clearly and make everything you do relatable. You are a gem. May you, Ron and all your family and those you love be blessed! Thanks so much! 🤗🙏

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Rachel is an extraordinary teacher. She'd be great in any field! "Let's get started:!"

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Sweet, thank you so much my friend. ❤

[@pennyaultman1930]

I absolutely love how you explain everything I actually can understand how to cook your recipes I've made 2 of them so far the cinnamon rolls and the enchiladas and both were amazing. I follow you now. There's alot about cooking I don't know. That's why I watch your videos you explain and show how to do it you don't skip through the steps. And you can see the love you put into all of your recipes. I want to thank you so much 💖

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend, thank you so much for your comment. ❤⚘

[@NilDreams]

Rachel this was so educational. You are a great teacher. Everything is explained with so much detail. It’s obvious you love to teach anything having to do with cooking.

[@juliettesepulveda2426]

I've always been confused about all the different types of chiles. Thank you! You're great. I wish you were my tia! 🥰

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤🥰

[@cynthiapahnka1214]

Another wonderful tutorial. Our Kroger here in Buckeye Country does not carry all these 🌶️ peppers. So I ordered some on the internet. It's empowering to have this information because it makes my cooking life more diverse. Thanks 👍 Rachel. God bless you and your family 💖.

[@katieburke2902]

Hello Rachel, So interesting...I love chile peppers...You make it so easy for me to learn and understand Mexican Culture Cooking...thank you...♡

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend. ❤🥰

[@anitagonzalez217]

You are awesome! I learned where Chile Morita came from. It is a dried up Jalapeño pepper! Wow! You are so informative & explain things so well. Thank you. You must be a teacher. Are you from The RGV? I was born there although moved to California over 35 years ago. So glad you have this site. Please tell your Ron we are most grateful for all his great work filming you & presenting your show. He's an 😇 angel helping 💖 his lovely wife. We ❤️ both of you!

[@Donaldopato]

Thanks for this. Thankfully my local store has a fab Mexican man who guides me in chilies. Never knew ancho was from poblano!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend, these others are amazing chiles too, especially when you start to combine them.❤👍

[@SherryRook]

Thank you so much for teaching lessons on peppers! Hopefully you’ll be having a cookbook out and I’m certainly going to buy one!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 sherry, how are you doing?

[@damesaphira9790]

Well done Mija. You are the official Queen of Tex/Mex. Excellent presentation.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Sweet words, thank you so much my friend. ❤😘

[@sugarmama8747]

Hi Rachel... I've learned so much on how to make "salsa" and the different chili to use and other ingredients. I've cooked many of your recipes already. My family and friends says. "What a good cook I am" 😊 Lil do they no 🧐 I have help from you😊 you're the best 🙌 Thank you for all your help in the kitchen friend 🙏♥️💜💙

[@rachelcookswithlove]

[@evlynealeshire5850]

Alma, Hi neighbor! I’m in San Luis Obispo! 😊

[@elizabethtrevino1188]

The absolute most comprehensive quick to the point teaching on peppers- thankU

[@lindagarcia2486]

Oh my goodness!!! I've always been so intimidated by dried chiles. You are giving me the confidence to try to work with them. I'm so excited!!! Thank you Rachel!!! 😃💜

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend, have fun with them. ❤👍

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 Linda, how are you doing?

[@Jae..9..]

I’m so glad you did this video. Not I’m not so intimidated to use them. Thank you, Rachel!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome, start with Ancho and guajillo and slowly start combining them together, then try others doing the same. Step by step. ❤👍

[@momster1223]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. It’s always a joy to listen to you teach. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It is very much appreciated! Sending you ❤️ from California! 😎

[@normaellis5630]

I used to go to Carmen restaurant, it has been closed for a while now, and get tostadas that were so delicious! They had shredded beef that was so tender and juicy, and top with dressed lettuce and avocado! I seem to remember refried beans on a crispy corn tortilla. So yummy 😋

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@joemcgunagle8146]

You are a fabulous teacher. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Thank you for being so patient and thorough. I look forward to the next lesson.

[@anadoyle9492]

This is what I was looking for. Thank you for the chiles 101 class. It’s what I was hoping to find in a video; a clear understanding of not just their names and their stages but how to use them!

[@richardvtagle]

What an excellent tutorial on all these delicious chiles my dear friend. And honestly, each chile brings it's own something, something to the table or in this case, in helping make a recipe delicious. Hope that you and your Ron will just kick back and enjoy a nice cold weekend just chilling and relaxing and keeping warm. Blessings and love forever flow your way.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much dear friend, you're right about each one bringing something to the table. It's a whole new world of cooking when start combining them together. I love this weather, so cozy and beautiful. Enjoy your weekend with your Johnny. ❤❤👍

[@evelyngadette2436]

That presentation on the different popular chili's was wonderful! I hope that you present that session on-going because I will need to view it many times and take notes. Thank you. Some of them are familiar from some of the recipes you have made for us. I can tell you this, it will take a while for me to experiment with them on recipes of my own.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much, start small and get a feel for them my friend, it's a whole new world. ❤👍

[@audrieriley553]

I imagine I will watch this video multiple times. I’ve made many of your dishes so far. This just adds to the love you put into making them. Thanks for teaching us. Your Birria was a huge hit at my house. Most of those peppers are now a pantry staple. From one Texas girl to another, a huge thanks for sharing.

[@60Airflyte]

Perfect timing! I was going to buy chiles today but didn’t because I had no idea what to buy. I decided to wait until after I did some research. I sat down and here is your video! Thank you and God bless you, Rachel. Your videos are so informative.

[@paulineanninahaden5485]

Wow Rachel! Never in my wildest dreams would I have considered the type of chilli. You explained the chilli in a way I never understood, but now I may be more of an explorer. Other than the jalapeño I never heard of the others except on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing this clarity. 💕💗🥰🇦🇺

[@jenniemarquez7325]

Way to go! Now I know. GRACIAS

[@shawnasalem]

Thank you for the knowledge. I always look at the dried Chile’s in the grocery store, but never knew which ones to try. Now I know. I can’t wait to try them. Great video

[@sarahtennessee608]

Oh my goodness. I loved this. I had no idea of all the names. Thank you.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend. Blessings. ❤👍

[@kayhenry6293]

My favorite chilies are jalapeños and poblanos. If I want dried, I use chili ancho. Thank you for showing the differences in all of the Mexican chilies.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Good choices, some of these other chiles are equivalent and offer delicious flavor as well. ❤👍

[@sheraldtaylor1297]

Thanks, Rachel. I grow my own chili peppers. This really helps to know I can leave them longer on the vine and will dry more of them for later use. Very helpful indeed!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend, enjoy your chili peppers. ❤👍

[@sylviazuniga5464]

Oh my God Rachel you are amazing in explaining all the type of chiles. I only knew about the jalapeño, Serrano, and chili ancho that I use. You are a blessing to us. I going to want to go out and buy the California one. I love you ❤️ for helping us learn, blessings🥰♥️

[@normaiglesias8227]

Thank you for all the wonderful information Rachel.. I’ve been educated and feel that I can start using more of these fine chiles now… lol

[@debbierobles7192]

Thank you Rachel for doing this video. It was so helpful and exactly what I wanted to know about all of the chilis, dried and not. Very well done! Again thank you!😊

[@tinkrox1973]

Thank you! This was so helpful.❤

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome, thank you so much for your comment. ❤

[@rahcarpenter]

Great job explaining chilies! You are truly a blessing. I’ve learned so much from you.

[@carolynchaveztriplecplusll4932]

Very well done! I learned so much. Coming from a Mexican background, I wasn't taught a lot about the transitions of the Chiles from my Grandmother so thanks for that. Love the channel. Caro

[@ohiograndma8655]

What a wonderful video. I’ve been hoping you’d do one on the different chilis

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your comment my friend, glad you liked it.❤

[@leahness3588]

Thank you for the explanation. I have been confused about the different stages of peppers. Now I know 👍😁❤🌶🌶

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much. ❤👍

[@PinkTigger33]

Thank you Rachel. This is the most informative tutorial I have ever seen on chile peppers.

[@ig_s_bib545]

I have learned so much from you Rachel. From tamales at Christmas to yesterday’s club sandwich to today knowing how to tell apart a Guajillo from a pasilla. Thank you. God bless you.

[@vavadtbn53]

I loved how you explained how a chile starts as one and when dry becomes a different chile.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

❤👍

[@maureenperez5676]

Thanks to Rachel. I love her recipes and "tutorials". I make a lot of Mexican food...since I married ONE. My mother-in-law taught me some dishes...but she died some years ago. I consider Rachel...a surrogate...because I didn't take advantage of all the dishes I could have learned and now She is gone. I am "early" retired and have plenty of time to experiment/play/learn about other Mexican dishes...and Rachel is "my girl"...now. She is "the next best" source of recipes. My mother-in-law didn't measure...I DO. I appreciate that Rachel has adapted these videos for those of us who aren't "Mex".😊😊So...bless her...for that, too.💖💖

[@kathleenwassum7712]

Thanks Rachel for a wonderful lesson. I have always gone out for my Mexican food, because the only thing I ever made were Ortega Tacos! 😅 But, since getting into your wonderful channel, I have made many of your recipes. They are absolutely delicious! In fact I made your Pot Roast this week. AWESOME! I have saved this video to learn more. Thanks sooo Much!❤️🤙🏻

[@joannekalish1020]

Thank you, Rachael. Explaining each chili pepper by appearance, taste, and heat level really helps. I had no idea about the differences except the general knowledge of mild and hot peppers. This information will really help when I make Mexican dishes. Joanne

[@joannekalish1020]

Rachael, I got a message that you reviewed my comment, but no comment from you. Joanne

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much Joanne, start with Ancho and guajillo, then slowly add another 1 at a time, when you start juggling them around you will experience totally different flavors.❤

[@joannekalish1020]

@@rachelcookswithlove Thanks Rachael. I appreciate your advice. Joanne

[@jodybruch829]

Thank you for sharing with us! There are so many different varieties, when I go to the grocery or farmers market I feel like I may have an idea now♥️

[@delphafatimamedina4078]

Thank you! Thank you! I'm Mexico City born, childhood raised, Texas transplant and educated, and now an, older woman with a passion for learning authentic Mexican recipes. All of my favorite youtube videos use these chiles, and no one has presented a video like yours. So very well explained!! I want to watch all of your videos in the order you uploaded them. Sometimes you may read my comments under Timmie or Delpha Fátima, it will be me praising your success! Have a great day! !

[@lke4907]

What a cool video!! So fun learning about peppers!! Thank you teacher Rachel!! 😊

[@damesaphira9790]

I am still mad at Texas A&M for breeding a heatless jalapeño. I remember when you could trust a jalapeño, today you never know if it is bland or has heat. Thank you A&M....only an Aggie could come up with a mild jalapeño. ;)

[@rachelcookswithlove]

I agree, but I guess maybe more people can enjoy them now.❤

[@lindamendoza2136]

I am so amazed of how you teach this old dog new tricks! Some of your dishes are very similar to mine only better. You have added a spark to my cooking, I appreciate you so much, thank you Rachel.

See. Now this is a full chapter for a book I would love to see you write. Recipes, explanations of when & where to apply different ingredients. You are so very informative & pleasant, would love a book plus a television show 🤗. Take care & be well.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your comment and believing in me.❤

[@beth5765]

As someone who grows over 40 types of chilies from around the world, this info was so helpful. Looking forward to trying lots of new ways to use both the fresh and dried 💝🔥

[@tinasan3870]

Excellent info on chiles for us gringos ! I LOVE chiles but grew up in Wisconsin so we never used chiles. I've lived in Dallas for over 40 years and am obsessed with Tex-Mex food.......my favorite ! Thanks for all this valuable info.

[@unomeknott8731]

Since this video is at least a year old I am not sure you will ever see this post. However, I had to say thank you, Rachel for sharing your knowledge about chilies with me. I live in South Carolina now but I am originally from central Ohio. Since the 90’s I have been in love with Mexican cuisine and love to make recipes that are authentic and original to Mexico. Most Americans think that TexMex is real “Mexican” cuisine but I know that this isn’t true. I am so glad to have found this channel and love the way you make a dish seem so simple and easy to follow. Love the videos and can’t wait to see what else you create for your viewers. God bless.

[@MzRebel2013]

you're my new favorite YT channel! great recipes!!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your support of my channel my friend. ❤

[@tubeampsrule1]

I absolutely love that you pronounce the names in Spanish. Makes me proud!

[@debrankine6453]

Rachael, thank you so much for this tutorial. I will be more confident now shopping for fresh and dried peppers at my local Latin store. I do have a question, however. Can you explain why some dried peppers are first dry toasted in a skillet before being rehydrated or ground while others are not?

[@primoprimo6918]

Concentran mejor el sabor , potencializa su sabor¡¡ en algunas veces quita lo amargo de los pimientos el calor del sarten. Tambien depende de la receta que vas a cocinar a veces no es necesario tostar en el sarten y solo hervirlos en agua.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

They don't have to be toasted before hydrating, I do it sometimes depending on the chiles or if i have something else to hydrate, but I think they're delicious either way.❤

[@hashimbokhamseen7877]

I love this video very useful and the most comprehensive no intros, no extra editing, no nonsense just straight to the point

[@erniedurawa5295]

I’m learning so much from Rachel. So glad to find her

I dig this kind of detail on chili peppers so thank you. It’s only been in the last 2 years I have been cooking with dried chilis. My favorite is chili Colorado.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Good choice, I think all the chiles are delicious and beautiful, depending on the dish, they are all prize winners ❤

[@lizl8997]

Excellent presentation and clarification on Mexican chiles. Now I have a better understanding of the variety and feel more comfortable using them. Thanks Rachel.

[@mariaantoniaguerra7484]

Hola Rachel What a great lesson! Always wondered what the names of these chili's were. Never in my wildest dreams did I know that a 🌶️ had so many names. This is an amazing video! Gracias por su tiempo! Antonia ❤️

[@rosanna3714]

I love chili's It does get confusing from fresh to dry. I also learned that the dark jalapeños with white lines in them are hotter so I always look for them. Thank you for another great video.💕

[@thedalight654]

My husband liked to make Serrano Pepper jelly. Kind of a hot sweet but very flavorful jelly. He always grew the jalapeno to make salsa or hot pepper rings. Some of the chilies you showed I knew about, some I didn't. Thank you for showing all the different pepprs

Sending you many blessings and hugs your way!🤗💕 Thank you💕

[@barbaramiller349]

Thank you so much for explaining this. To a person that has not grown up with all these types of chilis, but has learned to love authentic Mexican food, my son-in-law is from Mexico, I’m very grateful for this video. I will be able to make him more authentic food. (He is a great cook) He equates someone making food for him as love 🙂. I love him so very much.

Thank you, Rachel. I have definitely been intimidated by the use of Mexican chiles bc I need the milder ones. Yet I’ve also been intrigued by them as well. This video was extremely useful in clarifying my questions & demystifying the various Mexican chiles available. You’re such a gift to us. 💛
