<h3>What type of chile is it when you buy Ortega (canned) green chiles?</h3>

When I make certain dishes I top them with "Ortega diced green chiles". But I am wondering what type of chile is it? My latino friends cook frequently with different types of chiles (serrano, poblano,etc.). But all my life me & my family just buy Ortega green chiles. Am I showing my "whiteness"? LOL. Anyone out there know the answer? Thank you!!
Actually, I should have said that I am showing my lack of cooking knowledge ; ) Being white has nothing to do with it, lol. I just am still learning to cook -- sad but true ...


<strong>Chile best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by chefgrille</i><br/>I just looked at a can. It says "roasted green chiles". I assume that means jalapenos which is the most common. They're just not as hot since they've been cooked down and canned.</p>

Chile. Edificio coorporativo de Telefónica CTC Chile. con el correr de los años, este edificio se ha transformado en un ícono de la ciudad de Santiago. El nombre en principio era de &quot;Telefónica&quot;, pero debido a un litigio con Telefónica del Sur tuvieron que agregar CTC Chile. La CTC era la compañía de teléfonos de Chile cuando era funcionaba estatalmente.</p>
