I recently started selling a new app. special in the Cantina. It has become an instant hit with guests asking if it will be on the menu everyday. Rest assured..it will be!
Starting with large, fresh jalapeno peppers that I halve and remove the seeds. Second, stuff with medium heat raw Chorizo and then wrap with applewood bacon. They are then roasted in a high heat oven untill the bacon renders down. At service they are baked a second time and served over Mole Creme Sauce and finished under a flame with Mexican String Cheese. Garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
