INGREDIENTS:
-
6 Green jalapenos (halved)
-
1 – 9oz. Beef Chorizo
-
2 tbsp Sam’s Fresh Salsa Cantina Style
-
2 Small minced garlic cloves
-
1/2 Small chopped white onion
-
6-10 pieces of crushed chicharon pork rinds
-
1 part of unsalted butter or 1 tbsp cooking oil
-
Cooking oil spray
-
Shredded Mexican cheese
-
Grape tomatoes for topping
DIRECTIONS:
-
In a medium pan, heat butter or oil over medium heat and saute garlic and onions. Next add the chorizo and Sam’s Fresh Salsa Cantina style. Cook the chorizo mixture for about 8-10 minutes. I like the chorizo a little more browned and crispy. Set aside and let it cool.
-
You may want to use gloves first. Cut each jalapeno in half and remove all the seeds. Once the chorizo has cooled down, stuff each jalapeno with about 1 tbsp of the chorizo mixture.
-
Next add the crumble chicharon. It’s totally up to you on how much you want to add. I would say one crumbled pork rind piece per jalapeno. Then add the shredded cheese.
-
Preheat the oven to 400F. Use a baking sheet covered with foil and spray coconut oil. Lay your jalapeno poppers and bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until the cheeses have melted. Just keep an eye on them when baking.
-
‘ Top off with chicharon crumbles, slices of tomatoes, and onions. Serve immediately.
