Jalapeño Cream
I made a huge platter of enfrijoladas last night for Monday Night Football.
Are you excited for the return of football? I’m ecstatic!! We love football!!
With the excitement I wanted to add a little pizzazz to my enfrijoladas. I had spotted (I mean Chuls~my daughter) this Jalapeño Cream on the Food Network Magazine and we decided to give it a try. A quick sauce studded with jalapenos and cilantro whirled through the food processor, pretty easy, but big on taste. Today for a quick lunch I drizzled it over a taco filled with roasted chicken and a few slices of jicama.
Even better the next day~ Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
recipe from Food Network Magazine, Sept 2012
Now that I see inside with the delicious Jalapeno cream… wow, how pretty! My husband loves anything spicy and he’ll love this creamy sauce!
I’m with the others, I can think of lots of uses for this. I jumped over and liked your FB page. Very nice.

Yum! I want to slather this cream on EVERYTHING!!
how easy is this recipe! you think i can make a double batch and keep it for a day or two?
Yum! Now that’s my kind of sauce!!! Knowing me, I’d probably want to drink it! LOL!
I could drink this with a straw!
i’m assuming that’s 1/2 cup of mayonnaise? i don’t like the stuff, but i’d tolerate it for this!
Ohhhhh, I can thin k of so many ways to use this. Great idea!
Yes, this cream would definitely complement those wonderful enfrijoladas of yours!
This does sound delicious!
I am going to try this. I love jalapenos and cilantro in my salsas, I am sure this is deliciously spicy. Thank you for the recipe find Chuls, and you for sharing it with us : )
This sounds delicious!
jalapenos have such a distinct taste, one so different from other peppers, so I know this is a killer sauce… I have had a hankering to make (or put up) a few pints of roasted green hatch salsa but I think I have missed out on the hatch season… cannot find them here..
sorry for being on the outs lately, been traveling and barely blogging at all, used up all of my pre-written posts! take care and enjoy your football season…
Looks like something I could dip and spread on everything! 🙂
I was at a restaurant yesterday that served poblanos filled with Mexican cheese and habanero cream sauce. It was a little spicy hot so was going to try to recreate it at home with jalapeño … and VOILA, you’ve done it for me. Pinned.
I’ll trust that the cream is delicious. I can’t take the heat from jalepenos!
Scrumptious! Great flavors.
Cheers,
