Tijuana Train Wreck
Also known as Italian Frying peppers. Cubanelle peppers are large and blocky. They are light green in appearance and they mature red. The thin walls of this pepper make it an excellent choice for frying. This pepper is not hot.

1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
3 tablespoons sugar
