Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Jalapenos
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked chorizo, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Be cautious while handling jalapenos to avoid irritation, and consider wearing gloves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked chorizo, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well blended.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously but ensuring the mixture is level with the edges of the pepper.
If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle a small amount on top of each stuffed jalapeno for added crunch.
Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack, and enjoy!
