If she is living in London, the large supermarkets all have ingredients
to make American Mexican food. Tortillas, taco shells, seasonings,
canned Hatch-type chiles, salsas.
Harrod's have a very small and vastly overpriced selection of such
things.

If all she wants is heat, there are hundreds of Indian, Asian, Caribbean
and Middle Eastern markets in London that stock more types of chiles
(fresh and pickled) than she's probably ever seen in her part of the US.
All those markets also have chile sauces and pastes to keep her occupied
for years.

Then she can of course visit the Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Thai and
Indian/Bengali cafes to get her doses of heat.

Someone who cannot find good food in London isn't trying or is too
provincial to try new things.
