The jalapeños are stuffed with a spicy sweet potato hash made with soy chorizo, onions and Mexican spices and then topped with cheddar and jack cheeses.

I like traditional jalapeño poppers stuffed with cheddar or cream cheese. Still, it is nice to have a change and include other flavors to make a traditional football recipe more interesting and offer something new to your guests.

The sweetness of the sweet potatoes goes well with the smoky and spicy flavors of the soy chorizo and the spices. If you want to use traditional pork chorizo in this recipe you can do, the flavor profile will be almost the same.

I always look for small sweet potatoes to easily clean and chop. For this recipe, I am also using jalapeños from my Mexican vegetable garden, still producing peppers and eggplants despite the winter.

I have integrated sweet potatoes into many of my recipes and the sweet potato jalapeño poppers came about because I had some left over spicy sweet potatos hash I made for breakfast. You know, in my kitchen there’s never waste. I always use and repurpose any leftovers to create other delicious dishes.
