Note
A regular plural, made by adding -s to chile, the regional US spelling of chili. It counts the peppers themselves: two roasted chiles, a string of red chiles. Keep the capital letter in mind. Chile is the South American country, and a proper name like that takes no plural, so lowercase chiles on a menu or in a recipe means the pods.
