Peppered Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeand#241;os

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Remove jalapeño stems, cutting away the very top of the pepper. This allows for easy removal of the seeds. 

Step 3

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Gently fill hollowed jalapeños with cream cheese mixture. 

Step 4

Place a small piece of bacon over the exposed portion of the jalapeño. Tightly wrap each filled jalapeño securing the filling inside. Use a toothpick for added stability. 

Step 5

Cook poppers on preheated outdoor grill and finish in a 350°F oven if needed.
