Fresh chiles de agua are the most commonly used for this recipe, with the dried chiles pasillas in second place. The former look innocent enough but can be very picante; therefore, some cooks recommend, after charring and peeling the chiles, letting them soak in lightly salted water, with a little vinegar added, for about ½ hour. If you prefer to stuff the pasillas, choose the largest ones. In preparing any chile for filling, make sure the top holding the stem is intact.
