A jalapeno is a type of hot pepper commonly used in Mexican and other Latin American cuisines.
Jalapenos are small, usually green or red peppers that add a spicy kick to food. You often see them sliced up and added on top of tacos, nachos, or fajitas for an extra burst of flavor. Some people also use jalapeno peppers in salads, soups, or as a topping for grilled meats. When you hear someone say "I like it hot," they might be talking about adding jalapenos to their dish. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even try growing your own jalapeno plant at home – just make sure to handle the seeds carefully, because they can be quite spicy!
