Jalepeno Poppers (Mom's recipe!)

By Tufgrlz

Best poppers ever! Wear gloves while cleaning the jalepenos!

Ingredients

• 12 jalapeno peppers
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 3/4 cup cream cheese
• 1 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 oz. jack cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Scrape out all the seeds and ribs from each pepper with a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works great).

Mix together all the filling ingredients except the jack cheese.

Pack the filling into the peppers. Arrange the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle shredded jack cheese on top. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, and the peppers are cooked.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
