Picadillo Stuffed, Ham Wrapped Crescent Jalapeños
Let’s get this party started! Cheese stuffed jalapeños are always a hit at gatherings. I’ve taken the popular appetizer to the next level by stuffing it with flavorful picadillo, wrapping it in a slice of turkey ham and wrapping it again with crescent dough. It’s a meal all in itself!
The process might seem complicated but with the help of Sabra’s Roasted Garlic Salsa, the entire preparation took approximtely 15 minutes. You might recognize Sabra from their delicious hummus. But, yes, they also make salsas, guacamole, Greek-style veggie dips and Mediterranean salads such as babaganoush and bruschetta.
Sabra’s Roasted Garlic Salsa is so full of flavor that I’ve found so many uses for it. I add it to soups, stews, over eggs and here, I’ve seasoned picadillo with it. You save chopping time and gives your meals the perfect flavor with just the right amount of spice. Yes, and of course, it’s great just as is, with a nice batch of tortilla chips.

Wrap a crescent triangle around each stuffed jalapeño. Secure all jalapeño contents with wrapped around dough and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
