Holy jalapeño, this dish is delish!
If you like a little heat when you eat, then you’ll love the grilled and smoky flavors of these jalapeño sauces. In addition to the delicious flavor they impart, jalapeños contain capsaicin, the natural substance that gives chili peppers their heat. Capsaicin has been found to lower appetite and speed metabolism, too.
