Notes
- * For true Mexican flavor, choose an Andouille sausage or chorizo.
- ** Fire roasted tomatoes would be a great alternative here.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight glass or plastic container for 3 to 4 days.
- Freeze in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags for 4 to 6 months.
- Wear disposable gloves when cutting the jalapeno peppers and avoid touching your face.
- To make this in a crockpot, follow step 1 to brown the meat then transfer the meat and the rest of the ingredients (with the exception of the green onions, cilantro and lime) to the crockpot and stir. Cook covered on low for about 6 to 8 hours or until the meat is tender.
