Stuffed Jalapenos
Stuffed Jalapenos
Pulled pork stuffed jalapenos are a great little idea for a starter or party food. Give it a go and enjoy the good life.
We replaced the usual jalapeños with sweet mini-peppers since they’re easier to get hold of in the UK. But any lost heat is sufficiently replaced by our Gran Luchito chipotle paste. If you prefer a bit more spice – just go for it!
Serve these stuffed jalapenos alongside some beef nachos and a chipotle queso fundido.
Chef’s tip
Of course, if you can get hold of fresh jalapeños, you could.
