Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely minced, fresh
  • 2 jalapeños , seeded and finely diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese , softened

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix half the jalapenos and the parsley together.
  2. In a second bowl add the second half of the jalapenos, cream cheese, jack cheese, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and cumin to a bowl.
  3. You can either put it in the freezer for 20 minutes to really harden up then roll the mixture in the parsley/jalapeno or if you aren't as patient as me grab a large square of saran wrap and put the mixture in the middle.
  4. Bring the edges together and twist the top to make a small ball.
  5. Roll in jalapenos/parsley.
  6. Keep covered/refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
  7. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips.
