Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Use disposable gloves when handling jalapeño chiles.
  • Tip 2
    Do you crave spicy heat? If so, adjust heat level by increasing jalapeño chile from 1 to 2 teaspoons.
  • Tip 3
    These appetizers can be assembled and refrigerated up to 1 hour before baking. Bake time may need to be increased 1 to 2 minutes due to being refrigerated.
