Cooking With The Little Knife

Now the chicken flautas would not be so amazing with out Chevy's Jalapeno Jelly! This stuff is AMAZING! Now even if you dont like spicy food like me this jelly is not spicy at all! in fact it is probably one of favorite things in the entire world! It is incredibly versatile I use it on the flautas of course, on cream cheese with chips, or even on nachos! seriously this stuff is amazing! Now that I have discovered this and made a few batches I will definitely be getting my pectin in bulk on Amazon! Here is the link! Certo Premium Liquid Fruit Pectin by Sure-Jell, 6 Ounce Box (Pack of 4) And here is the recipe! Chevy's Jalapeno Jelly Copycat Recipe 3/4 cup chopped red bell peppers 3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers 1/3 cup diced and seeded jalapeno's peppers (you don’t have to but I use gloves when dealing with hot peppers to avoid accidently getting anything in my eyes or mouth) 2 3/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime jui

If you haven't ever been to Chevy's Fresh Mex Restaurant then you are truly missing out. They have some seriously delicious Mexican food! my personal favorite is their chicken Flautas! I have found and a dapted a recipe for these that I have now made at least five times! I am addicted! The first time that I made them I made a single batch and it was not enough so I have now decided that each time I make them I will be making a double if not triple batch! They are way easier to make then you would think, the are usually fried in the restaurant BUT I hate deep frying anything in my house because of the small and the clean up. Because of that I bake them and they are much better this way! (in my personal opinion of course!) You could also adapt this yourself if you wanted to by using other types of meat or maybe even making the vegetarian if you choose! The recipe calls for salsa and if you wanted to get really creative you could make your own and use that instead of jarred sals
