Taqueria Style Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots

Taqueria Style Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots

I’ve had a craving for Mexican food for a few days so I decided to make some tacos for dinner. When looking for recipe ideas, I stumbled upon a recipe at Simply Scratch for these taqueria style pickled jalapenos & carrots and knew they would be a terrific condiment for the tacos but also great to have on hand for other Mexican favorites like tostadas, enchiladas, and nachos. I loved that these are quick refrigerator pickled veggies so I don’t have to worry about doing the canning process.  This recipe was easy to make and the pickled jalapenos, carrots, and onions tasted amazing on our pork tacos.

How to Make Taqueria Style Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, peppercorns, oregano, cumin, and coriander. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the jalapeno, carrots, and garlic halves. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the vinegar, water, salt, and bay leaf. Simmer for a few minutes, until the veggies start to soften and turn color. Remove from the heat.

    1. You can eat them right away! They will last in your fridge for 1-2 months (unless you eat them all first).

    1. Laura,

      I’m sure you can, just follow proper canning instructions. Please let me know how they turn out.

    2. I read on another site that if canning for future use you should omit the oil because it may promote spoilage and cause the lids to not deal right. And your vinegar must not just be table vinegar. I think it said it must be 5%

    Came out amazing, made for a happy husband, thank you!

    A different type of question perhaps…the fork that is shown in the images of the jarred jalapeños, where did you get it from?

    Thanks again, from Florida!

    1. Shannon,

      I’m happy your husband likes them! Thank you for letting me know.

      I got the fork several years ago at Home Goods. They came in box set with a few different styles of these small appetizer forks.

    1. Debbie,

      I’ve never tried actually canning them so I’m not sure how they would turn out, but I would assume they would be tasty, just make sure to follow proper canning instructions.
