'Heads:

Had a red and a green sala with chips at dinner last nite.  

We asked the ingredients and the red sauce had a pepper in it, like
serrano, but called "Beak-of-the-bird."  No, was not "pico de gallo." 
She said it was a "seco" serrano; whereas the serrano in the green sauce
was "fresco".

Does this - "seco" - mean it was a dried serrano, or a ripe one?  The
red *was* hotter than the green...  Are serranos called "Beak of the
bird" chiles, or was she referring to arbols????

Thanks!
