Ingredients
- 4 oz. cream cheese $1.00
- 4 oz. Monterey jack cheese $1.00, shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream $0.25
- 3 scallions $0.17, aka green onions, sliced
- 1 clove garlic $0.08, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro $0.20, chopped leaves
- 1/2 tsp chili powder $0.05
- 1/8 tsp salt $0.02
- 12 jalapeños $2.45
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $0.04, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Monterey jack, sour cream, scallions, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, and salt.
- Carefully slice each jalapeño down the center, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the ribs and seeds. Dip your fingers in the cooking oil and spread the oil over the outer surface of the peppers.
- Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the filling into each hallowed jalapeño half. Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer (use two baking sheets if necessary).
- Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the peppers have softened and the cheese on top is slightly browned. Serve hot.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Because pepper sizes vary, the cheesy filling may not be exact for 24 pepper pieces. The pepper size will also affect the cooking time, so watch the peppers closely.
