Steps:
- Add the olive oil, butter, onion, jalapenos, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Sweat over medium-low heat until tender, then stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, chili powder, adobo sauce, chipotle powder, garlic and onion powders, sugar, cumin, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 tablespoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the chopped Brisket. Mix in the masa harina slurry and let simmer, stirring often to let the meat settle to the bottom of the chili, for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F. using your preferred heating method. Apply wood chips or chunks to allow for smoke.
- Mix pepper and salt together in a bowl to make seasoning rub. Apply rub to brisket.
- Place brisket on smoker. Let smoke, adding wood chips as necessary to supply ample smoke, until brisket reaches 170 degrees F, 4 to 7 hours. Wrap in butcher paper and put back on smoker. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F. Let rest, still wrapped, for 2 hours.

Steps:
- Slice each jalapeno open lengthwise, then make a small crosswise cut at the stem end to form a T. Gently open the jalapenos and scrape out the seeds and membranes with a knife. Put the jalapenos, milk and 2 cups water in a large bowl and soak 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Meanwhile, mix the cheddar, cream cheese, pulled pork and chili powder in a bowl with your hands until combined. Drain the jalapenos and pat them dry. Stuff 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese filling into each pepper.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another dish. Put the breadcrumbs in a third dish. One at a time, hold the peppers by the stems and dredge in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and roll in the breadcrumbs; dip in the eggs again and reroll in breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until the coating sets, about 20 minutes.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Fry the jalapenos in batches, turning, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve with barbecue sauce.

SMOKED GOUDA-CHORIZO JALAPENO POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brown the chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add the gouda, cream cheese, sour cream, red onion, hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the egg.
- Press the mixture into the jalapeños and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm, and unblemished poblano peppers. Avoid any peppers that have soft spots or blemishes.
- Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers is an essential step that brings out their flavor. Make sure to roast them until they are charred and blistered, but not burnt.
- Let the peppers cool completely: Before you start stuffing the peppers, let them cool completely. This will make them easier to handle and prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is a key ingredient in the filling, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Avoid using any cream cheese that has a sour or tangy flavor.
- Season the filling to taste: The filling should be flavorful, so don't be afraid to season it with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for extra flavor.
- Stuff the peppers carefully: When you're stuffing the peppers, be careful not to overfill them. The filling should be packed tightly, but not so tightly that it's bursting out of the peppers.
- Bake the peppers until they are heated through: The peppers should be baked until the filling is hot and bubbly, and the peppers are tender. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Poblano poppers are best served immediately after they are baked. They can be served as an appetizer or a main course.
Conclusion:
Poblano poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack, give these poppers a try!
