What does the mayonnaise do? For some reason, it doesn’t sound enticing to me. I don’t love mayo at all, except maybe on a turkey sandwich!
GREAT Flavor!
I’m on the keto diet, and this recipe fits in just fine. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Delicious! I only used 2 jalapeños & that was plenty.
