Ingredients

• 12 pieces Jalapenos
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Cooked chorizo, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Be cautious while handling jalapenos to avoid irritation, and consider wearing gloves.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked chorizo, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously but ensuring the mixture is level with the edges of the pepper.

Step 5

If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle a small amount on top of each stuffed jalapeno for added crunch.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil to help with browning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack, and enjoy!
