One of the great things about summertime is the abundance of fresh peppers available at our local farmers markets. They come in all sizes, colors and spice levels. For this recipe I picked my four favorite fresh chiles: jalapeño, serrano, fresno and the Caribe pepper, also known as chile güero. The added chile de árbol provides an extra kick!
