Sweet and Spicy Beef with Noodles
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.

1/2 Tbsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
