I won’t bore you with my novel long story on how I had an eye-opening experience that brought me to this recipe.

Here it is, stuffed jalapeños! Makes for the perfect appetizer for the spicy lover in your life! Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

 

    • 15-20 Jalapeños 

    • Beef Chorizo

    • 1 pack of Cream Cheese

    • Turkey Bacon

Instructions:

This dish requires some prep time; however, it’s quick going once we get all the components ready!

1.  Get your baking sheet ready, lined with foil, and preheat your oven to 375°F. Set the cream cheese out to begin softening.

Optional: Cut the turkey bacon strips in half. I do this so I only have to buy one pack!

2. Time to prep the jalapeños! I recommend wearing gloves… Start by washing them under water and removing the stems. Cut them in half, long ways. 

Optional: Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds to help make them less spicy.

3. Sauté the chorizo in a medium-sized pan. Add the cream cheese, stirring it in as it melts. Remove from the heat when the cream cheese is thoroughly melted. 

4. Using a spoon, scoop up a portion of the chorizo cream cheese and fill one jalapeño half.

5. Take a piece of turkey bacon and wrap it around the stuffed jalapeño, securing it down with a toothpick if necessary.

Place it on your foil-lined baking sheet. 

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5. Bake them for about 45 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is fully cooked. 

7. Transfer the jalapeños to a serving tray, and we’re done! Yummy appetizer that everyone will love!

Tips:

– This is a simple and super customizable appetizer that you can modify to suit your tastes! Try different stuffings!

– Wear gloves when handling the jalapeños. 

– Cut the turkey bacon strips in half. I do this so I only have to buy one pack!

Enjoy your Stuffed Jalapeños!
