Saw this and thought of Cinco de Mayo so here it is!

Meal Time: Dinner Prep. Time: 30 minutes Servings: 8
Ingredients:
1 26 oz. can whole pickled jalapeno peppers
3/4 lb. sharp (preferably white) aged cheese - grated
2/3 cup mayonnaise (use more or less to taste)
2 T. Chipotle Pepper Sauce
Japanese black sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:
Drain and rinse jalapenos. Slice off stem end of pepper, then slice in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Mix cheese, mayonnaise and CaJohns Chipotle Sauce together, then stuff jalapeno halves with this mixture. Sprinkle with black sesame seeks and serve.

A lady I worked with in Texas made a similar recipe but instead of mayo used cream cheese and added tuna before stuffing the peppers. She called them TUNA FARTS. They were suprisingly tasty.

Hmm...I'm having a party soon. I'm just imagining serving my friends "tuna farts." They do sound good, tho.

They are so good~! I made them for Thanksgiving appetizers once and my sister and best friend almost finished them while we were cooking. The cheeses allow you to really enjoy the flavors because the heat of the jalapeno is softened by eating with dairy. I was introduced to them years ago when we were having a party at work and everyone BEGGED my coworker Patsy to "bring tuna farts" again. As you can imagine, I was wary! I don't like fishy things, farts or cutesy names. I was hooked though!
