My local Costco is selling these peppers:

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I don't immediately recognize
the variety of pepper. They're delicious and pack a good
heat level, probably comparable to a Serrano, but they look
more like big Cayennes (though they don't taste like them).
Yesterday's dinner was grilled chicken soft tacos. My son
doesn't seem to tolerate tomatoes well, so I made two salsas;
one was your basic pico de gallo with surprisingly flavorful
Romas (from Costco), the other was made with Mineolas (a
tangerine/grapefruit cross - pleasantly tart, not overly
sweet). I added a pinch of nutmeg to the citrus salsa
to warm it a bit - and loved it. I think this is superior
to the typical heavy/rich/sweet mango salsa. I also grilled
a bunch of asparagus to serve on the side - I really wasn't
sure what I wanted to cook when I started, so I ended-up with
a sort of fusion dinner. It's nice to eat like a king without
needing to apologize to my cardio-vascular system.
Anyway, does anyone recognize the variety of the peppers?
I think they're lovely.
