Preparation

Step 1

For the Jalapeno Cheese Crisps: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper and paprika and toss to combine. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop the cheese into 1 1/2 tablespoon piles on the baking sheet 2-inches apart from each other. Sprinkle with the chopped jalapeno and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted, crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve with crema.
For the Cilantro Lime Crema: In the bowl of a food processor, add the sour cream, cilantro, scallions and lime juice. Pulse until smooth and combined. Remove to a bowl and serve with the cheese crisps.
