This is a very good, low-fat recipe! My family loved it and I just emailed to a few of my friends. I only used 1/2 jalapeno and no cayenne - but that is just to my taste. Goes perfect with grilled chicken.

YUM! I didn't use a jalapeno only because I didn't have any but I will be sure to get some for next time! These were good as well as having a nice presentation!
