How to Make Asparagus Rolls With Jalapeo Chutney

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small sauté pan over low heat.
2. Add 2 finely minced jalapeños, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, and 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper. Sauté until garlic is lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
3. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add the lemon-sugar mixture and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan. Stir well to combine.
4. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and darkened, stirring occasionally.
5. While the chutney simmers, microwave 1 pound of asparagus spears for 2 minutes. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Asparagus should be tender-crisp, not fully cooked.
6. Set aside 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Divide the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly between two large flour tortillas.
7. Microwave one cheese-covered tortilla at a time for 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and slightly softened.
8. Once a tortilla is heated, place 4 asparagus spears on one end, slightly overlapping. Repeat with another 4 spears on top.
9. Roll the tortilla tightly, ensuring the asparagus spears are slightly protruding from both ends.
10. Repeat with the second tortilla.
11. Just before serving, sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of cheese over the rolls. Microwave for 30 seconds each to melt the cheese.
12. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and a small amount of jalapeño chutney.
13. Garnish the chutney with a sprinkle of lemon zest for added color and brightness.
14. Serve alongside Spanish rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
