Grilled jalapenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. They are easy to make and can be grilled in just a few minutes. The key to grilling jalapenos is to not overcook them, as this will make them bitter and tough. Instead, cook them just until they are slightly charred and blistered. This will give them a smoky flavor and a slightly spicy kick.

- Wear gloves: Jalapeños contain capsaicin, a compound that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear gloves when handling peppers to prevent burning sensations.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: To reduce the heat level of the peppers, remove the seeds and ribs, where most of the capsaicin is concentrated.
- Marinate the peppers: Marinating the peppers in a flavorful mixture of oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste and makes them more tender.
- Grill the peppers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the peppers with oil and grill them until they are slightly charred and tender, turning occasionally.
- Stuff the peppers: Once the peppers are grilled, fill them with your desired fillings, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables.
- Serve immediately: Grilled jalapeños are best served hot off the grill. Accompany them with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa for an extra burst of flavor.
