Core the jalapeno. You need to very finely chop the jap and onion.

No cooking? Just using the lime juice to cook the meat like a ceviche? 

I'm going to assume you should use the leanest meat possible in this recipe..

This recipe sounds great...I agree with grind your own...The Piggly Wiggly Ground Beef would be scary Raw...JJ
 
Wonder about smoked onion and cheese in stead of the liquid?
I didnt want to subject the GB to any cold smoke, to much surface area to get bacteria beings it has no cure.
 
This is huge where I grew up (Castroville, Medina County Texas). Let me start off by saying I never, I repeat never use to eat this. The thought of eating raw meat made me sick until I was having a few beers one evening with my dad and he insisted on me trying it.... I've been hooked ever since!

This is the recipe I grew up with:

Castroville Parisa Recipe
* 2# lean ground sirloin
* 2# diced American cheese
* 2 medium sized onion
* Salt to taste
* 2-3 jalapenos seeded and diced
* Course ground pepper to taste
* 1 tbsp lemon juice

Mix well and serve with crackers

nepas, your recipe is more like my friends recipe from the Hondo and D'Hanis area
 
Just made a batch made it half cheese and other plain used super trim stew meat from Wally World in the fridge now would of took pics but you've all seen meat and chopped veggies. Used eat something similar as a kid and the bar closed down have never duplicated yet. Thanks for the info happy new fellow smokers:grilling_smilie::grilling_smilie:
 
My friend brings 5lbs back from TX. Mine dont taste nothing like the original. Just gotta make more and figure out whats missing.
