First up, let’s tackle some seriously addictive Sriracha Honey Wings:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound chicken wings, separated at the joint
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat wings dry with paper towels.
2. Toss wings in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While wings bake, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
5. Brush wings with sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking, turning them once.
6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

• For extra crispy wings, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes after brushing with sauce.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of heat.
• Get creative with dipping sauces! Ranch, blue cheese, and BBQ all pair well with these wings.

Next, we’ve got a cheesy touchdown with our Spicy Queso Fundido:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 (8-ounce) block sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Tortilla chips, for serving

2. Add garlic and jalapeno (if using) and cook for an additional minute.
3. Stir in diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, until melted and smooth.
