Spicy Carrots, Onions and Jalapenos (Mexican style) Spicy Carrots, Onions and Jalapenos (Mexican style)
Nailed it!I have always liked the thicker spicy carrots and onions with jalapenos served as a side at Mexican restaurants. So I researched it and found this easy recipe, with minor changes, to craft it at home. It's a nice low carb., low fat, tasty snack to keep you away from worse snacks. I like to leave it about a week in the refrigerator before enjoying, so the veggies can absorb the flavor. The best thing about this, you can adjust the heat to your taste. This one here is pretty spicy in my opinion. To make it less spicy, remove the seeds and white membrane from the jalapenos, or just use less. To increase use more jalapenos, or add dried hot chillies or crushed red pepper. This also has a sweet component, you can adjust the sugar down to your liking. Or, for a barely spicy version, use Anaheim peppers or bell peppers instead of jalapenos, add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper to the boil. This will give you the peppers but just a little kick to round it out. Fo Fa -
