Jalapeno

The core ingredient — the jalapeño pepper — originated in what is now Central America and Mexico. The name jalapeño was given to the pepper by the Spanish.

The ancient Aztecs were the first people to use the jalapeno, but it did not become a global sensation until Columbus spread hot peppers around the world in 1492. Mexico is still the most prolific country for producing Jalapeno peppers, with an estimated 70,000 acres dedicated to growing them.
