Very tasty but using pillsbury dough never fails to make a simple recipe so much better. The addition of lime juice really enhances these.

These tasted fine but I couldn't really figure out (by written directions) how I was actually supposed to wrap these things. It would have been nice to have had a diagram, I guess...lol. Also, I think the jalapenos I used were too big (so I cut some of them in two before trying to wrap them). I don't think I would make these EXACTLY like this again...I did like the filling and the jalapeno taste together, though. Maybe I will roll them up in the crescent dough next time, if I ever make them again.

My friends loved it, but for an appetizer I think they should be smaller unless you are serving them as a side with an entree.
