Mexican terminology - translation of "bell pepper"

Question

Hello, SpanishDict Forumn!

I have a question about the Spanish translation of the English word "bellpepper". The dictionary on this website does not have an entry for this word, so I was wondering if you all could help me out.

I have heard several words used for "bellpepper", such as:

• Chile campana
• Chile morrón
• Chile dulce
• Pimiento dulce
• Campana

I was wondering: which of the above (if any) is the most common term used to mean "bellpepper" in the Mexican dialect of Spanish? Of course, any insight into the most commonly-used terms found in any other countries (Spain, Colombia, etc.) is welcome too . I am just particularly interested in Mexico as it is the Spanish-speaking country closest to where I live.

Thank you in advance for any and all help!

Sincerely,

Alyssa
