Introduction
Recipe is from Cooking Light. If you like spicier, add another jalepeno and even serrano chiles. I use fresh peppers/chiles. If you don't like spicy, take the jalepeno out altogether or reduce to one. Recipe is from Cooking Light. If you like spicier, add another jalepeno and even serrano chiles.
