Named for their native Mexican city of Xalapa, Veracruz, jalapenos are the most well known chili pepper in both Mexico and the United States. When smoked and dried, jalapenos become chipotles; this practice dates back to the time of the Aztecs. The state of Texas, which produces more jalapeno peppers than any other state, made the jalapeno its state pepper in 1995.
