Hi. Does anyone know how many chiles to use to make chili if I like it medium spicy?

The recipe I am using includes hot chili seasoning, cumin , ground red pepper and pace hot picante sauce. I would like to know how many chillies(serrano and jalepeno) to put in the recipe if I like my chili medium spicy. Thanks.

I would use one jalepeno with seeds. Try that, If it's not enough you can always add more. It is better to add little by little because you can always add more to taste, but you can't take it away.
Reply:I never used jalapenos, maybe just one....all the other things are hot as it. Picante sauce has jalapenos in it already.


I used chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion power,garlic powder,tomato sauce, tomato Paste, and a little flour to thicken

Reply:If you only want the spice---take the seeds out of the peppers--you'll have spice and flavor.I use just jalapenos----serranos have a kick.
Reply:Don't put in any!!! Taste it first and then add them one at a time tasting after each addition! You never know how hot they're going to be and you will have a heck of a time getting them back out!
