An Ancho chili is a dried poblano chili. It is usually around 4 inches long and deep red/brown in color. It is very flavorful but not a hot chili. The Jalapeno is a hot little critter. But you take out the big heat when you remove the stems and seeds. (Wear rubber gloves and don't wipe your forehead or near your eyes.) Ancho chilis are available at Sweet Basil.
