I was recently at a sushi restaurant and they served incredible jalapeño poppers. They had tempura battered a jalapeño which was stuffed with spicy tuna….yum! I came up with this recipe to enjoy the taste and texture of the jalapeño poppers in a way that was approachable for me at home. This has become a really popular party food at my house.
