Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapeños
- 6 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 12 pieces Bacon strips
- 12 Toothpicks
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon. Set the hollowed-out jalapeño halves aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and smoked paprika. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously but not overflowing.
Step 5
Take one bacon strip and wrap it tightly around a stuffed jalapeño half. Secure the bacon with a toothpick, ensuring it stays in place during cooking. Repeat for all jalapeño halves.
Step 6
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese filling is bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the hors d'oeuvres cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
