Two easy appetizers and a tantalizing main make for a muy caliente Mexican feast!
Our Mexican feast included stuffed jalapenos, chipotle shrimp and beef tacos
On the menu: stuffed jalapeno peppers and pan-fried shrimp in chipotle sauce for appetizers, and tacos with beef and chorizo filling (and, of course, all the trimmings) for the main.
I based the recipe for stuffed jalapenos on one from the Canadian Living Cooks cookbook and I made up the shrimp recipe based on a dish called Camarones A la diabla that I had at an amazing restaurant in Toronto, called Mariachi’s.
My lovely friends made everything else, including the meat filling, and I wasn’t paying attention but I’ll tell you what I think they did (and I make my own meat filling fairly often so, don’t worry, I am a credible source).
Ingredients
Stuffed Jalapenos
Chipotle Shrimp
Beef and Chorizo Taco Filling
Instructions
* freeze the leftover chipotle peppers so you can use them in my Off-the-charts Black Bean Chili recipe – the best chili on planet earth (if I do say so myself)!
