I recently bought a bag of jalapenos for a dollar and so I decided to make some jalapeno poppers even though I don’t ever recall ever eating any jalapeno poppers before. I mixed a few of my favorite ingredients together, stuffed the jalapenos, and then once the poppers were cooked I wrapped them in a tortilla like a taco with some leftover carne asada and grilled veggies, pretty tasty.
Ingredients:
10 jalapenos, seeded
1 tbsp. jalapeno seeds
1 cup of cream cheese (1/2 pound), softened
1/2 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 cup Mexican cheese mix, shredded
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp garlic salt
Directions:
- Cut off the stems of each jalapeno and use a small spoon, I used a 1/8th teaspoon spoon, to spoon out the seeds and the insides of the jalapeno while keeping the body of the jalapeno intact. Make sure you save about a tablespoon worth of seeds on the side.
- In a bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients: seeds, cream cheese, cilantro, cheese mix, cajun seasoning, and garlic salt. Mix together until evenly blended.
- Use the same small spoon from earlier and stuff each jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture.
- Place the jalapenos on a grill safe sheet and stick on the grill until the outside of the jalapenos are a tad wilted.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately as an appetizer by themselves or wrap them in a tortilla along with some taco fixings to make Jalapeno Popper Tacos. Enjoy!
