Serrano chilies deliver a crisp, bright heat, hotter than jalapeño but milder than habanero. These slender green peppers are used in salsas, pickles, sauces, and grilled dishes. They add a grassy, slightly fruity flavor and pair well with cilantro, lime, onions, and tomatoes. Store in the refrigerator crisper for up to one week. Use gloves when handling to avoid skin irritation.
