Hello, I have 2 questions. Where is your recipe for a Burrito? I have New Mexico chilies and I have California chilies. Now recipes say ancho and then other peppers like guajillo. I am not sure if the New Mexico and California are the same? I am printing and trying your many recipes. Caren
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Caren, I have a burrito bowl on the site and several taco recipes that you can use for making your own burrito. California chiles are dried Anaheims. New Mexican peppers are grown in that region and vary in type, though they are similar to California, though some can be hotter. Ancho and Guajillo are Mexican pods. All have some similar flavors, but are unique on their own. I would encourage experimenting with them.

When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. Even though I grow super hots. . .my love is the Poblano, Jalapeno and Cubanelle. This recipe is perfect as is, no tweaking necessary. Tasted even better after a night in the fridge.
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Thanks, Nancy! Which recipe? You've commented on the Contact Me page.
Genevieve Janse says
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS on Amazon for your cookbook ? What's going on ? I took a screenshot but it won't attach.
I wanted to get one but....
thanks,
Genevieve
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Genevieve, which one? It's probably one that is out of print now. Sorry for the issue.

I made you enchilada sauce and it is amazing. Since I taste everything while I'm cooking, very important to do this, it was quite hot tasting for me. But I wanted to use anyway. Well, after it cooked, it was quite pleasing. 🙂 Will use again!
I will be trying more recipes from you two. Thanks
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Thanks, Carol! I appreciate it! Feel free to share this review on the enchilada sauce page, too! Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

So happy found your site; making the Chicago giardiniera to start with. Like you I use to live out side of Chicago, now in Al. Can't get giardiniera. But peppers grow great down here. Can't wait until it done. Been telling everyone about your site. Found you on Pinterest. Thanks again.
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Awesome! Thanks, Ella! I appreciate it.
Jack says
Love your site. I am an amateur pepper grower in Kansas City. I have pretty mean salsa garden I grow every year. This year I grew 14 kinds of peppers. I call it a salsa garden but it’s more of a hot sauce garden. I have made over 20 of your recipes. Mostly hot sauce. Love them all! Is that you in the video? And this weekend I am making a blueberry reaper hot sauce and a aji lemon drop hot sauce. Do you have a recipe for lemon drop that’s not fermented? Again thanks for the great inspiration. Just harvested but already planning on next year. Any new peppers I need to plant next year? Definitely going to try a few of the bubble gum types.
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Thanks, Jack. I appreciate it. I do many other videos, most of them posted on our Youtube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChiliPepperMadness. You can use those ajis in just about any of my hot sauce or other recipes. Just swap them in. Very versatile. Also, there are SO MANY chili pepper types out there. I usually grow a big range of heat for spice and flavor variety, depending on how I think I want to use them.

? - What is Mirin?, where do you get it/ any other substitute if can't find? Thank you, Mary & Stan Johnson
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Mary, mirin is a Japanese staple, like a sweet rice wine. You can use rice wine instead with a touch of honey or sugar as a substitute.

Awesome site! Looking forward to more plant-based recipes 🙂 thank you!

Hi Mike,
I have 2 Serrano, 2 Jalapeno, and 1 Hatch Chili plant this year. They are all loaded with peppers. My question is would it be best to let them ripen to red then dry them or would you suggest doing something different with them? I have never grown Hatch Peppers, anxious for them to ripen.
Oh I also have 3 Chili De Arbol plants that I do dry for my Tomitallo Salsa. Chili De Arbol plants are non existent here so I always start them from seed in January.
Thanks Mike
Randy in Kansas
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Randy, that's a hard question for me to answer because there are so many different things you can do with them. You can ripen and dry them, or make hot sauces with them, or dehydrate and grind them into flakes or powders, or even just use them for every day cooking. I have a TON of recipes on the site for you to choose from. Let me know what you wind up doing.
John says
Truly one of the more mind blowing web sites. History, instructions, links. Very well done, professional, educative. Thank you for all the work it obviously required to offer all of this information.
Best,

Mike,
I had found your site yesterday and thought it had really good information and great recipes. Recently, whenever I wanted to make something with chili peppers (or such like that) I always use your site and the results are great! Good job being successful!
Your Spicy Food Loving Friend,

Thanks so much, Jade! I do appreciate the support! I'll see you around the site. Take care...

Hello Mr.Hultquist,
I know this sounds pretty awkward but I am a teenager who LOVES spicy food!!!!!! I was wondering if you have any sauces made with the Carolina Reaper pepper? I want to use it as a sauce for the meals I make. (I know this is really weird but I already have my future planned out for me, I am 13 and already am preparing to become a chef when I'm older. I have written some books, but have not published them yet. Most are horror books.) Please reply as soon as possible and when it is most convenient for you, sir.
Thanks,
Jade
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says

I also have a Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce Recipe here that you can try: https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/carolina-reaper-hot-sauce/. Pure heat with this one!
