Chile on eggs?

"Chiles": some discussion at

http://www.mexicodesconocido.com.mx/hipertex/novoch.htm

I guess Mexican "chile" [< Nahuatl] = South American "ají" [< Taino] =
Spanish Spanish "pimiento" or so ... in English "chili" (usually), also
"chile", "chilli".

The nation-name "Chile" is said to < Mapuche "chilli" = "land's end" or so.
(There are also other stories, I think.)
