This is really a nice family-style casserole, and very easy to make. My DH, who loves Mexican food, came over to the stove and helped me cook it! I bought fresh jalapenos for this, but he was pretty certain that Klyn meant for the sliced pickled ones in the jar, so we compromised and used half fresh, half pickled.
