Gardeners...pepper plant ID?

[TexasLongball]

I went to do some work at my mother in law’s house and saw this plant on the side of her house. They look like chile pequins but I’m not sure. I have no idea how the original seeds got there unless her neighbor threw something over there.
What kind of pepper is this? And can it be transplanted?

Looks like bird pepper, aka chiltepin. From what I have gathered, the pequin is longer and larger.

We have some at the lease in Victoria. ( I posted a thread just a few weeks ago related to this, and another plant i thought may be related or another pepper )

Looks like a pequin to me. Grab a ripe one and take a bite to make sure.

Chili Pequin you luck dog. Hot but very tasty peppers. Always heard it pronounced piteen but that might be a family thing.

that's what we call them. mostly they are scattered by bird droppings. they grow best in crowded areas. they make excellent hot sauce. fill jar with the peppers and vinegar and let set for a few days.

Apparently there is some confusion/overlapping in the names/verbiage used to describe them, some call em all pequin. Here is a link to a forum discussing it, with pics. Who is technically right, I dont know.

Correct ID now if you'll take 3 of the red peppers, some garlic, and some cilantro and grind it all up then mix it with a little lime juice and two small cans of tomato sauce you've got a really good salsa.

Mexican guy who used to work for me made that all the time and it really is simple and it really is good.

Pick the ripe ones, let them dry out, and add them into sausage or grind and add to seasonings... kinda like bacon, they’ll make everything taste great!

Let that sucker grow! It will come back every year. I also do the vinegar thing, delicious!

This is what I came here to post. I pick them, let them dry out, they will look like red peppercorns. I save a bunch up, put in my spice grinder and grind up and put in a shaker. Great on pizza or anything where you would use crushed red pepper.

Getting one to grow on your place is like have a P&Y buck on your low fence that never leaves your yard. I've tried getting them to grow and transplanting them.....nope.
