What would you put these on? Tacos or a Burrito? 🔥

I love to add caifflower to the jalapeno. Carrots and onions

[bdiaz]

Just had these for the first time from a taco truck. Came to youtube and this recipe is exactly what I was looking for. They are quite addicting.

We just made our second batch in 4 days. These are so good and spot on flavor. Added to pulled pork sliders, tostadas, tacos or just on their own. Absolutely delicious and easy.

Ate these my whole life in East Texas. My mom would make a bunch as we ate them all the time. She would also make some with a little cayenne at times which were also great

[discofever]

Making another batch today. This recipe is perfection!

[discofever]

Excellent recipe! I have made this several times, and it is always exceptional. Today I fried fresh potatoes in the skillet with the leftover jalapeno/ garlic/carrot/ olive oil remnants. I added bacon bits to the potatoes at the end, and had potato/bacon tacos on corn tortillas topped with the pickled carrot/ jalapeno mixture. Delicious! Thank you for the fantastic recipe and the great step by step process. Much appreciated!

Hello Chef and thanks so much for the best pickled jalapeños and carrot recipe I’ve found. I have followed 5 recipes with disappointing results. Then I found your channel. This recipe is the absolute best. I did use sugar first time, only because I had no honey, my 2nd batch I used a dark honey. Both were great. Thanks for a great easy to follow recipe.

Excellent video and very professional. You clearly have the gift of teaching.

I do these often but i include shallots, a fresno or hab per jar, and radishes.

I love this stuff. First time I saw it was at this burrito joint called Tacos Guaymas in Tacoma, Wa. HUGE burritos, but while I was waiting, I would scoop up a few cups of the jalapeno carrots they had. Always paid for it the next day, but worth it.

[mjremy]

Delicious, thank you!
I would make a few changes:
Cook minimally to keep some crispness, carrots can be longer.
Add white onions sliced half dome.
Add small whole red radishes too.
Take out seeds from jalapeno peppers to lower heat.

Excellent recipe, many thanks!

Hello, I was searching for picking carrots and your style and recipe was the one.
I made them for the 1st time ever for my husband I hope he love it.
The reason I decided to make it for him is that when we order Mexican food he orders pickle carrots but they give them like 6 or 8 slices and its not enough for what he pays for them.
So thank you so much I appreciate it that your made this video and shared it.

[breakerwave]

Outstanding! One of my favorites when out for some plain ol' good texmex. Thank's for sharing your recipe. 😊💪

I This is the recipe I've been looking for! Never thought to saute peppers n carrots first, always just simmered in water. Never knew to use peppercorns either! Just made this today and it turned out awesome! (For a lil more heat added 2 chocolate habaneros). This is the 5th recipe I've used from you and it was awesome again! Right up there with your Jalapeno-Pineapple Hot sauce recipe! But the best so far was the Homemade Chicago-Style Giardiniera! Make that all the time! Thanks for awesome recipes! Now I'm off to tackle your Homemade Chili Garlic Sauce!

[mynanasapron]

Thank you I've missed these since we moved from southern California. The ones we had were a little sweet like what you showed and had onions in them too.

[mykneeshurt]

Great recipe. I love adding whole cloves of garlic. and maybe a whole habanero with the stem chopped off..

[michaeldoyle]

Made these yesterday and they are very tasty.

[klystronvariant]

Can I waterbath these for a longer shelf life.

[valenciacuttriss]

What can l use instead of the Mexican oregano? This looks delicious and l definitely would like to make it….loved your chilli relish and l add it to my coleslaw.
