I think the recipe that you are looking for is simply "jalapenos en
escabeche".  In Mexico, jalapenos are typically pickled in white vinegar
with sliced carrots and onions.   This is often served either as an
appetizer with warm flour tortillas (especially in the hot country of
Michoacan) or as a condiment.

I don't have a recipe off of the top of my head, but I know there is one in
Diana Kennedy's "The Art of Mexican Cooking".  If you give it a try, I'd
love to hear how it works out.

On another note, my wife and I just got back from five days in Cancun.  We
stayed at an all-inclusive place that had a great Mexican restaurant -- we
ate almost nothing but seafood (mmmm.....ceviche) the entire time.  Anyway,
I paid one of the waiters at this place $20 to take us into the city for a
half day and show us the markets, street vendors, etc.  Unbelievable.  I
spent $20 at this one market and left with three plastic grocery sacks full
of chile goodness.  Also, ate enough street food to make to kill a horse --
fabulous.  It brought me back to my days in Juarez and Ensenada....
