Red onion, jalapeno, taco seasoned chicken. Probably about a quarter pound of chicken.

Seasoned chicken on pizza is underrated.

Cost per person, $3.50

Also. They might all be the same species but they're different breeds or varieties. Red and green are the same species and the same variety. Just they let the red ones ripen longer. But the yellow and orange ones are a different variety. They will never turn red. Occasionally you'll find someone selling yellow or orange and if you hold onto them they will turn red. But there are true yellow and orange varieties that will never turn right.

Yeah, I meant just in having the capsicum kick. A low-heat cultivar accidentally cross-pollinating with an otherwise hot jalapeño, diluting its heat.

Also, I said "species," but I was wrong. I meant genus Capsicum, its members which can commonly interbreed AFAIK, which would be thousands of different types. And I'd completely forgotten that:

[There are] five major species of cultivated peppers (genus Capsicum): C. annuum, C. chinense, C. baccatum, C. frutescens, and C. pubescens. --WP

Blimey.

The good news with the cross pollination is that it ruins the heat if you plant the seeds from that cross. Doesn't ruin the heat from the fruit. Unlike corn. Cross pollinate corn and you'll get bad results immediately. Fortunately that can be solved by just planning different types of corn 2 weeks apart.

Hmm, I didn't know that about chilis.

Okay, and the pollination window for corn is brief, is what you're implying?
