You could try the TAM jalapeno - it has all the jalapeno taste with only a very small amount of heat (If you want to call it "heat"). If you would like a smooth smokey flavor I strongly suggest pablano. My pablano's were planted very close my habanero's and serrano's this past season so they were *very* hot but it's my understanding they are not normally hot. I always suggest putting in some sweet banana pepper and another fun one for salsa is the corno di toro. It is an Italian sweet pepper that has just a hint of heat. Very yummy!

I wish I could help you but I love me some heat and don't know what to do without it. To me a poblano is good but I don't know if I would consider it having any heat at all. but a poblano goes great on a burger grill and peeled to perfection.... or wrapped in tortilla with some salsa on top and maybe some queso fresco... I am growing serrano, thai, and cayanne this year. I love me some jalapeno but wanted some more heat so I went with serrano. The thai is for fun to add some majicalness to food and the cayanne is part of my secrect ingrediant food.

does anyone only put one chile in salsa I wonder? I always combine
I do, depending on the flavor and heat I am trying for. Most of the time I will use only a couple in am attempt to make it not so busy. I use other peppers too tho, like the banana, corno di toro, and sometimes bell....

I only use one jalapeno in my salsa which is pico de gallo (jalapeno, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro). I do remove the seeds though since I have acid reflux and am not even supposed to be eating it.:lol: Yum!

Did you mean 1 pepper as in number or 1 pepper as in type? I have been using mostly jalapeno since that is what I grew last year but I have been adding a shot of cayanne for a kick. But I use alot of jalapenos in salsa. I like me some heat. I actually never though about adding a sweet pepper into the mix

I am ruining my computer and it is all your faults. Whenever I read these comments, I have to tuck a napkin under my chin just to keep the drool off the keyboard. :tongue
