Johnny Jalapeno's Fiesta Wraps

Submitted by 2Bleu

"Well, JJ's at it again! Seems he hooked up with the McDaniel gang again and they couldn't wait for some of his tasty dishes. One of the McDaniel's had hooked up with a sweet little girl from Mexico named Carlita. Carlita just loved fiesta colors! On her clothing, In her home, and even in her food. Johnny came up with this yummy recipe just for her. Carlita was so happy that she did a Mexican hat dance for him!"

Yum! Johnny's got a real winner here, on all counts. I cut this down to just one serving, and that was the perfect amount for a lunch wrap. The colors were so pretty, with the mango, peppers and beans, that it was almost a shame to roll it up to eat it. I left out the avocado, and would have used chicken if I had any on hand, but instead sliced up a bit of leftover steak for some extra protein. The sauce is wonderful; the perfect combination of heat from the hot sauce and sweet from the preserves. I know I'll be making this one again!

Made these when we got together with a neighbor couple! Was a bit stingy with the hot sauce, used 1/2 a small can of green chilies instead of the jalapeno, left out the optional avocado, but did include the also optional shredded chicken! Great combo of flavors & these wraps were gone in no time at all! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
