Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix
12 medium jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons fine bread crumbs, or to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Blend cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and seasoning mix together in a bowl. Spread mixture into jalapeño halves and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle bread crumbs over cheese filling.
Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are just tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Recipe Tips
If you aren't a fan of taco seasoning, try stuffing the peppers with a mixture of cream cheese, mozzarella, and chopped pepperoni. Or try cream cheese, blue cheese, and a bit of dry ranch dressing mix, or whatever sounds good to you.
To make ahead, follow the recipe but bake for just 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, then place the baking sheet and poppers in the freezer for about 1 hour. Transfer the poppers to resealable bags and keep frozen until ready to use. Reheat frozen poppers in an oven preheated to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 20 minutes.
