Tips
For that special taste, El Pinto uses four main chiles:
- Big Jim - large green chile with mild to medium heat and great flavor
- Anaheim – large green chile originally from Anaheim, California; the New Mexico Green Chile variety is hotter with a medium heat
- M-66 - cross between Anaheim and Big Jim with medium heat
- Sandia - a smaller chile with a lot of heat
