Any type of fresh red chili peppers or dried chillies can be great for making harissa sauce. In Tunisia, the local red baklouti pepper is generally featured, but since that may not be readily available in the Americas, you can substitute for red bell peppers and various Mexican chilis, which are also commonly used. Be sure to choose your chilis wisely based on how spicy you want your harissa. You can also use a combination of spicy and mild chili peppers.
