Pro Tip: Wear plastic gloves when cutting the jalapeno’s and removing the seeds. Make sure to avoid touching your eyes or face. If you want to keep it extra spicy, keep the seeds in tack when slicing.

Our family loves this recipe. We have it when the hockey game is on and cant believe its gluten free. What a great combination! Will make over and over.
