Chipotle - Bell Pepper

Bell Pepper

Each morning, we hand slice all of the bell peppers for our fajita veggies in our restaurants. They come in red, green, yellow, orange, brown and purple, but we mostly use the green ones (and the occasional red and yellow) because they go really well with our ingredients. Fashion AND function, mmmmm.

In layman's terms, that means bell peppers aren't spicy. In fact, they sometimes also go by the name "sweet peppers". As in, "sweet peppers, man."
