My grandma always made Hoppin' John on New Year's Day when I was growing up in Virginia. I now live in New Mexico and decided to put a hot Southwestern spin on the recipe this year, hence the name. It's simple and tasty, and has some heat. I only added two jalapenos, but you could add more if you like it hotter. If you don't like hot food, you might want to eliminate the jalapenos completely. My husband and I both loved it.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The flavors were too strong for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual hoppin' john recipe.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used chicken instead of pork and added some chopped vegetables. It turned out really well!

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a hit. The combination of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors is irresistible. I like to serve it with a side of rice and beans.

This was a great, easy recipe! I made it last night for dinner and my family loved it. The flavors were spot-on and the pork was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
