Banana Pepper Rings vs Pepperoncinis

While you can substitute one for the other, they are different. They vary in taste, heat level, appearance, and texture.

• Banana Peppers: they are milder in heat. The riper a fresh banana pepper is, the sweeter it will be. The jarred rings are pickled and will also be a tad zesty. They have some heat but are low on the Scoville scale (0-500). Fresh ones are longer, smooth, slightly curved, and have a pointy end
• Pepperoncinis: Their heat level is a bit spicier than banana peppers. When pickled, they have a tangy, almost sour taste. They have some heat but are low on the Scoville scale (100-500). Fresh peppers are shorter, with a round end and wrinkly skin.

Chef Lori’s #1 Tip for Success

HOW TO PROPERLY WARM FLOUR TORTILLAS: Preheat the oven to 300F. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven for ~10-15 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. It’s best to do it in stacks of 6 tortillas at a time. Store the warmed tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
