Expert Tips

tip 1
You could use one whole red or one whole green jalapeño chile, but the combination of the red and green is very attractive.
tip 2
The remaining chiles will keep in the refrigerator for several days. Dice a little into taco meat or almost any casserole to add a bit of flavor and heat.
