Ingredients

  • 4 oz. cream cheese $1.00
  • 4 oz. Monterey jack, shredded $1.00
  • 1/4 cup sour cream $0.25
  • 3 scallions (green onions), sliced $0.17
  • 1 clove garlic, minced $0.08
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves $0.20
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder $0.05
  • 1/8 tsp salt $0.02
  • 12 jalapeños $2.45
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil $0.04

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.

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.
