Frequently asked questions
As mentioned above, the chemical in the jalapeno that gives it heat is called capsaicin. If your jalapenos are not hot enough then that would be because it was picked too early and didn’t mature enough to get the right amount of capsaicin to build up.
Many make jalapeno poppers differently but they are generally made by hollowing out the jalapenos and then they are stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, spices, and sometimes ground meat, and then breaded. They are then either deep-fried, air fried, or baked.
Most people will dip them with some sort of creamy dip like Ranch. You can dip them in marinara sauce or even ketchup.
