Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers

The playoffs are well underway and that’s enough reason to invite some baseball fans over to enjoy some homegating food. Stuffed jalapeños are an all-around great appetizer this time of the year because they can be served at any celebration. Once baseball season is over, the holiday party season begins and these are great enough to serve during those potluck parties and get-togethers.
These jalapeños are extra special because they originate from the state of Veracruz, Mexico. They are very versatile because they are customarily stuffed with ground beef during the fall and winter months for the holidays or stuffed with salmon or tuna for the lenten season, also known as chiles Cuaresmeños. Both types of stuffed chiles are very tasty and popular with large crowds.
This year, I decided to debut them early for homegating. I stuffed them with popular fall ingredients and used Hunt’s® tomatoes to finish off the flavorful stuffing. Hunt’s® tomatoes uses hot water to FlashSteam and peel its tomatoes. No chemicals, such as lye are used in the process and no chemical by-products get put back into the earth. THANK YOU! Hunt’s® tomatoes also cans their diced, whole, stewed and crushed tomatoes within hours after harvest. I was so pleased when I found that out that started to stock my pantry for upcoming holiday cooking marathons.
I hope you enjoy these easy but flavorful stuffed jalapeños. Remember you can always replace the protein in this appetizer with tuna, sardines, salmon, chicken or turkey. For a meatless version, try cooked, rice, farro or quinoa. You will absolutely love the various flavors and textures that make this dish so unique.
