Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 1.5 cups Smoked gouda cheese
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cooked chorizo, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 slices Bacon, cut in half
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the jalapenos and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes, creating a hollow cavity for the filling. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked gouda cheese, cream cheese, cooked chorizo, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and form a creamy filling.
Spoon the cheese and chorizo mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them just to the top without overstuffing.
Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a half slice of bacon, securing it in place with a toothpick.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
Remove from the oven and let the jalapeno poppers cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or party snack!
