anyone ever grown cochiti peppers

[texas bob]

i had a friend move down to new mexico last year to take care of her mom for a year and she sent me some NM pepper seeds. one was called cochiti from the cochiti pueblo. has anyone ever grown this pepper? i am wondering what to do with them....yesterday i saw a few are ripening. i hav read they are hot, but i've rerad the same about other peppers that were not hot at all. do people dry them for powder, stuff for rellenos, eat straight. i haven't been able to find much info on them other than they are from cochiti pueblo at around 6000 feet of elevation. please help me be informed----thanx all---bob

I dont know how they are used green or red sorry -- Seems interesting enough -- Maybe like an Anaheim where when they turn red you dry and grind and green you can use them as green chilies ie. enchiladas or stuffing ?????

I've seen those dried at my mexi-market, but haven't tried 'em.
