Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm jalapeños for grilling. Remove ribs and seeds from peppers to reduce heat. Slice lengthwise into strips for best results.
  • Marinate jalapeños in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Grill jalapeños over medium heat until charred and tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Serve grilled jalapeños immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. They can also be used as a topping for tacos, nachos, or other Mexican dishes.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, leave the ribs and seeds in the peppers before grilling. Alternatively, you can brush them with a mixture of melted butter and cayenne pepper before grilling.
  • For a unique twist, try stuffing grilled jalapeños with a mixture of cheese, beans, and corn. Wrap them in bacon and grill until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.
