📖 Step-by-step instructions

🍴 Serving and storage suggestions
You can add these jalapeno pickles to everything! I love adding them to my tacos (say, my gochujang cauliflower tacos or fried avocado tacos) - but you can also use them in salads (for instance, my summer spinach and avocado salad). But my favorite?
