If you find yourself with a surplus of jalapenos, then make this spicy jalapeno sauce! It’s still one of the most popular recipes on the site, and you’ll find all sorts of ways to use it: tacos, eggs, burritos, and even sandwiches!
This roasted jalapeno soup is a recent addition to the site and I was very pleased with the results. I usually use a little potato to dilute the heat a bit, but you can consider it optional if you want an ultra fiery version 🙂
Making this sauce changed my life 🙂 It’s super simple, but when you roast the tomatoes and get the heat to your taste it’s extremely satisfying.
Easily one of the most popular recipes on the site! These Homemade Pickled Jalapenos are always in my fridge. I use them on everything – tacos, tostadas, eggs, sandwiches – and I love munching on carrots whenever my energy flags in the late afternoon 🙂
Charred jalapenos topped with caramelized onions? Sold! You’ll often see them served as a side dish, but you can slice them up to make killer tostadas.
Jalapenos are a great way to jazz up plain hash browns! You can serve them alongside some eggs for a fiery breakfast or use them to make epic breakfast burritos.
This is a super easy dish to make and is a great upgrade to your usual scrambled eggs! Note: go easy on the onion otherwise it will dominate too much and drain the tomato a bit so there isn’t too much moisture in the pan.
Yes, pizza! Once you have some pickled jalapenos on hand, you can easily make this delicious pizza – it’s super simple and I think you’ll be surprised at how satisfying it is.

And yes, if you make half a batch of hot jalapeno salsa and serve it with breakfast burritos, you’re in for a treat! Jalapeno sauce will make any burrito taste complete, so you won’t have to sweat too much for additional ingredients. Yum 🙂
