Jalapeños Made Easier

One of the worst parts about jalapeños in any dish is prepping them. I usually try and wear prep gloves if I have any, especially if I’m having to cut a few because the oils from the jalapeños can burn your hands and don’t even think about touching your eyes!

What is great about this Smoky Jalapeño Dip is it uses jarred jalapeños: easier to prep and less of a spicy kick but great jalapeño flavor. If you are someone that really loves some kick just sprinkle a few more jalapeños on top after baking.

Need another idea for snacking while watching the game, check out this chartuterie board that is good for your gut.

The best apps are ones that are easy to make

The best part about this dip, besides the taste, is the easy prep. Just dice some bell pepper and onions. Sauté with minced garlic for about 5 minutes then add some corn and cilantro. The bean mixture can be mixed right in the pan or serving dish. Then layer, add cheese on top and bake for 10 minutes and you are done!

Extras on top like more jalapeños, avocados, sour cream, and cilantro can be added. And of course, don’t forget the chips!

Leftover Ideas

In our house, this Smoky Jalapeño Dip didn’t get finished all in one day so it got me thinking about how to repurpose it. One idea is to use it as a filling for a burrito. Wrap the burrito in aluminum foil, place it in a freezer bag, and in the freezer and you’ve got a frozen burrito for a later date when you just don’t feel like cooking.
