Preparation
  1. Wash the jalapeños and slice them into rings.

  4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until the jalapeños soften.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jalapeños to cool in the syrup for at least an hour.

Notes

Control the spice level by adjusting the amount of jalapeños used. Consider adding whole spices like cumin for deeper flavor.
