Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos With Grilled Red Pepper-Tomato Sauce

Niteflyer's Note:

These stuffed jalapeno's with the red pepper sauce are sure to be a hit at your next party. These are always one of the first plates to empty. Making a double batch is always a must. This is an old Bobby Flay recipe that I have made many many times. When I don't feel like grilling the corn I will just use a 10.5 oz can of super crisp sweet corn.

Nothing goes better with tequila--scratch that. Nothing goes better with jalapenos than cheese (...and tomatoes and corn and roasted *used green* peppers).
