 This idea came in stages. I knew I wanted to make a taco seasoning that used cocoa powder, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to make with it (besides the obvious). Then, I was talking to a friend who offered the idea of chocolate dipped jalapenos. I was immediately intrigued by that idea, and knew that I wanted to try it. After a little more thinking on it, I decided to combine both the taco seasoning and the jalapenos, and this was the result. ---Karly COCOA-SEASONED CHICKEN NACHOS WITH CHOCOLATE DIPPED JALAPENOS Taco Seasoning: 2 teaspoons Tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoons garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Salt and pepper to taste Nachos: 1 cup shredded, cooked chicken 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning Olive oil 2-4 tablespoons beer Chips Nacho toppings: shredded cheese, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, hot sauce, etc. Chocolate-Dipped Jalapenos: 2 ounces dark chocolate 3-5 jalapenos, sliced in half, lengthwise, and seeded Mix all of the taco seasoning ingredients together, then melt dark chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Drop jalapeno pieces into melted chocolate and stir to coat, then place on wax paper to allow chocolate cool. Refrigerate if desired. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add chicken and taco seasoning. Stir to coat the chicken, then add beer and stir until it absorbs into the chicken, about 2-3 minutes. Top your chips with the chicken, nacho toppings of choice, and chocolate-dipped jalapeno pieces.
