Reviews
I made it with large Jalape?o peppers and my guests loved them. I made about 10 of them and there was 4 of us. They wanted more. When you roast the peppers make sure they blister all over, it makes it easier to take the skins off.
easy to prepare reduce cornmeal from 1cup to 1/4 cup you will taste the green chile more,also recipe can be used on stuufed jalapenos
