Default Pickled Serrano Peppers...

If this is indeed Portillos, then most likely the Peppers used (like the
Hot Dog Peppers) are Sport Peppers, not Serrano.

They are similar looking Peppers, but the mouth feel is different.
Serranos I have found to be a more fleshy-chewy-tough than the Sport
Pepper.
I suppose they can be used in a pinch, and typically I use Sport Peppers
like others, to make homemade Giardeniera. Mark
