What pepper variety could this be? [Street Market Mexico]
There are these huge (mostly green) peppers that look like habaneros but are nearly fist sized! I'm wondering if they are hot or not and what variety it could be
What is this used for in mexican cuisine?

You’re asking us if theyre hot but you’re the one at the stall with the peppers? 🤔
Buy a few and test them out, chuck the seeds in your suitcase.

Those are bell peppers. Smaller sizes but still just bell capsicum. Not hot.

They indeed look like bell peppers, that I have seen back in India. Perfect for making Indian stuffed peppers. The ratio of stuffing to pepper flesh feels just right with these smaller sized ones.
