Ingredients
- 10 Jalapeno peppers
- 6 slices thin-sliced bacon (use 20 slices bacon for bacon-wrapped poppers - see recipe notes)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- FOR SERVING: fresh chopped cilantro spicy chili flakes
Instructions
- Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and core out the innards.
- Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon becomes nice and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let them cool. Crumble them into a mixing bowl, but reserve some for topping.
- Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and spices to the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Fill each jalapeno slice with the spiced cheese mixture.
- Heat a grill to medium heat and grill the jalapeno poppers for 10-15 minutes, or until the poppers are done to your liking.
- Remove from heat, garnish with extra crumbled bacon, red pepper flakes and fresh chopped cilantro, and serve.

Notes
- NOTE: For bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, wrap each stuffed jalapeno popper in one slice of bacon, then grill for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
