Mexican Fiesta Nut Appetizer
Combining the sweet with the savory in true Mexican style, these Mexican appetizers will thrill your guests. Mexican fiesta nuts are coated in butter, cinnamon, chipotle and more for a combination of flavors that contrast wonderfully. Pecans are a great nut to use but you could try walnuts or brazil nuts for a different flavor if you wanted to, or combine several different types of nuts.
In this Mexican appetizer recipe, the pecans are coated in chocolate, which is flavored with the other ingredients, and the chipotle adds a fiery zing to an otherwise sweet recipe. This is a very unusual appetizer recipe and you can serve this in a bowl if you are having a buffet or in small, individual dishes if you are serving appetizers before a sit down dinner. You could also serve these Mexican fiesta nuts after the meal with the coffee.
