Mini Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pizzas
It's no secret that I'm a sucker for Jalapeno Poppers. I even did a round-up of the Best Chilli Poppers in Cape Town for Food24 in 2012. And yet, I'm still obsessed with them. With the hype of creating ridiculously simple recipes and videos thereof, I made these mini deep dish style jalapeno popper ''pizzas''. A three cheese, bacon and jalapeno filling stuffed in a muffin tray lined with tortilla wraps cut to size and baked to crispy golden gooey perfection. It's every bit as tasty as an actual chilli popper. Bonus is it's less fiddly and not as greasy. And how cute for end of year party drinks? Bring on the tequila!
