It’s fiesta time around the #SundaySupper table! In honor of Día de Independencia in Mexico, we are celebrating by bringing our favorite Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes to the party! After all this eating, I’m going to need a siesta!
When my husband and I got married, we spent our honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. It is absolutely gorgeous. Please visit there.
Even our room was beautiful
And of course, the food was outstanding!
And on our tour, I fell in love with the Tequila Sunrise at the Tequila Factor.
How could you NOT LOVE the tequila factor? It actually got me into trouble 😛
Soon , I became quite the tequila expert.
We even got a tour of the tortilla factory!
To be honest, I don’t remember much of that week. Just lots of drinks and of course my bartender, Benny!
We did love Benny.
From Mexico, I bring back to you my Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos and Tequila Sunrises. I know this will be a scoring winner! We munched a lot and this was one of my favorite appetizers.
They are not too spicy and the title may imply. Once they cool down, it’s like eating a chip….a slightly hot one. Not too much heat in this dish!
Ingredients:
- 8-10 jalapenos
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 scallions: chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon woreshire sauce
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese, or any kind you like
- 2 Tbs plain breadcrumbs
Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Prepare baking sheet with aluminum foil
3. Cut jalapenos length wise and clean out seeds. Be careful not to touch your eyes, use gloves!
4. In a bowl mix the rest of the ingredients except for the breadcrumbs
5. Put mixture inside jalapenos and top sprinkle with breadcrumbs
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Wait for them to cool down to serve!
Please try, they rock. Now in addition to the Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos, I’m going all out because this girl knows how to make a mean Tequila Sunrise. Nothing tricky, just the norm but it’s sooooo goooood!
Ingredients:
- 2 oz tequila
- 2 dashes of grenadine
- orange juice
Recipe:
1. Pour tequila in a glass
2. Add orange juice. Stir
3. On the side, pour a dash of grenadine. It should come back to the top
Thank you for letting me bring my dishes to the fiesta! I know we had a BLAST in Mexico.

So I have never liked tequila, but then a few years ago someone introduced me to tequila sunrises and I fell in love too. Something about the orange juice and the grenadine pairs perfectly with the tequila. And I love jalapeno poppers.
I love 7 layer dip so much, it makes me want to just take a spoon and dig in even without tortilla chips. 🙂
Never been to Mexico or had a Tequila Sunrise (but I do like the song). Now I see what I’m missing! 😉
Nice memories of Mexico! I never stuffed peppers but they sound just delicious! I must try them soon. Happy Sunday!
I want to party with YOU! What yummy poppers and a gorgeous cocktail! Happy #SundaySupper~
What yummy poppers and a fantastic cocktail! I want to party with YOU! Happy #SundaySupper~
Lovely! And they look so easy to make. I’m saving so many wonderful recipes this #SundaySupper! Stuffed peppers are always a welcome sight.
What great memories from an awesome trip! Visiting a tortilla factory sounds fun…
Love the recipes you shared! You know, I have never had a tequila sunrise before – they sound fab!
Great…now I’m needing tequila at 8 in the morning and I’m all out.
Perfect appetizer for a fantastic #SundaySupper Fiesta!
Give me a few more hours and I will definitely be making a tequila sunrise (or two) to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Would brunch be too soon to have one? 🙂
Yum yum!! Thanks for sharing!
What a nice post! Thanks for sharing!
This looks so good! I loved checking out the pictures from your honeymoon. I’m going to PV in October.
Yum! I very much enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading about your honeymoon in Mexico. Sounds like a fantastic time 🙂
Those look so good. I love jalapeno anything!! I also loved going to PV and would go back again in a flash!!
I am not a fan of tequlla anymore. I a bad experience with it. I think I had a hangover for three days. Yall look like you are having fun on your honeymoon. I enjoy jalapenos so I will have to give your recipe a try.
What a fantastic honeymoon! Have a Tequila Sunrise (or three) for me!
I would totally love these!! They would scare my spice wimp of a hubby, but that would just mean for me : )
I have some jalapenos in my fridge and I am seriously thinking about makes this with them. Yummy!
I did stuffed jalapenos once, and uh I couldn’t finish. Too spicy! Maybe if I find some not-so-spicy jalapenos, I will try these.
Love that you shared all your memories !! You made stuffing jalopenos look so easy 🙂 Lovely pics ! The tequila sunrise is great too. Nice combo !!
Um I love tequila sunrises and stuffed jalapenos! This is a winner #sundaysupper!
MMMmmmmm……Tequila sunrise. I would kill for that right now!
I too had my honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta, we too had a fabulous time. I am a lover of tequilla and love my margarittas. Your recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try.
I make cream cheese stuffed jalapenos quite often, but I love your version! I’m definitely going to have to try these next time!
This is wonderful. I love the dish and love all the photos. I love that you became an expert…lol. This post made me giggle.
Fun! That looks like my kind of vacation. And I could munch on these while sipping those all afternoon and evening long. YUM!
Love this! I’ve never thought to sprinkle breadcrumbs on my poppers. So much healthier than bacon!
Oh man these look amazing! I’d like to be eating one right now!
We are having our wedding in Cancun next year. I’ll be sure to have a shopt of tequila for you! The poppers and the sunrise is getting me reved up for the weekend and it’s only Monday. boo
I used to drink tequila sunrises all the time in college. Ah brings back the memories!
