   Jalapenos would work, but they are spicier than pablanos.

   Any peppers that are available fresh: jalapeno, banana, serrano, Anaheim, etc.

   I would use jalapeno, but you will need more than the recipe calls for because they are smaller in size than poblanos. I wouldn’t use the canned chiles, I don’t think they have much heat and they’re soggy.

   Poblanos are sometimes called pasila chlies, do not sub jalapenos, to hot for dish, you can use anahime peppers
