I tried these yesterday. I only had the medium green chiles, but it was still too hot for my husband and I. I found I had to cook them longer for the peppers to be cooked through. If I make them again, I will use a mild green chiles.
Thanks for the tip on the peppers! I hope the mild chiles work better for you!
