Help me find these peppers
 

My parents got me these peppers in Chihuahua Mexico, at some small shop one of the locals runs.

Anyway, these peppers are super hot with a great flavor. In the picture I am holding a couple of the seeds, but when you use them, you break them open.

You need to add them after cooking, because once we cooked with them and created tear gas.

We are running low on these, and would love to be able to get more.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Those are the seeds? What do the peppers look like?

They actually look a little like wiri-wiri's that are grown in Guyana. But they're not seeds, the peppers look exactly like that.

Could they also be pequin peppers? (aka penguin peppers, bird peppers)

According to wikipedia, they're 7 to 8 times hotter than jalapenos. They also have a citrusy, smoky, and nutty flavour. Does that sound about right?

My girlfriend just talked to my parents more about where they got it, and did a better google search, and figured it out...they are Chiltepines

Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks everyone....I found some people who sell them on Ebay. If you're into spicy, I highly recommend them. We add like ten of them to our tuna salad. I'm sure most people would hate it, but we love it!

Cool. According to Wikipedia, those are within the same heat range as Thai chilies and bird's eye chilies, which I have some experience with.

Tasty.

These are new to me - what a great plant!
We have a difficult time growing peppers in this part of Ohio because of all of the summer rain. These peppers seem to have a fairly high water requirement, I just might try them out!

Those look like chiltepin peppers. They're about the size of green peas and grow on a little shrub like plant. My Dad grows chiltepins in big clay pots on the deck. One plant yields a lot of little peppers, but the seeds aren't always true to type.
