Bacon Wrapped Chorizo Lime Jalapeno Poppers

 

Bacon Wrapped Chorizo Lime Jalapeno Poppers.   Not only is the name a mouthful but it’s a spicy bit of taste bud nirvana.  I wrote  about my addiction to deli poppers in my losing weight series and, in an attempt to make a more gluten-free recipe, created this delicious rendition.

This was the first time I had ever messed with a jalepeno and woo wee, I learned some lessons.  First, wear gloves.   Second, do NOT and I mean  DO NOT touch any part of your face or eyes.    Wow, yeah, I can’t even imagine being a hippy in the 60s getting hit with a can of mace.  No way.  Anyhow, make a bunch of these because they are going to disappear before your eyes!
