Description
Sweet, spicy, and savory jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon and grilled.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large jalapenos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced fresh pineapple
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 16 thin slices bacon
Instructions
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the insides.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced pineapple, lime juice, cumin, and salt until combined.
- Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the jalapeno halves.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half tightly with one slice of bacon, securing the ends.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Place the poppers on the grill, bacon side down first, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bacon starts to brown.
- Turn the poppers and grill for another 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the jalapenos are tender.
- Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For easier handling, you can secure the bacon with toothpicks before grilling.
- If you prefer less heat, remove all white membrane from the jalapenos.
