This was posted in my Mexican group. Can anyone here help with this question? terry Does anyone know what a hontaca pepper is? I have a couple of recipes that I love (from a restaurant) that call for this pepper both chopped and ground. I cannot find anything that tells me what this is. Can anyone help?
