STUFFED JALAPENOS



Stuffed Jalapenos image

A relatively easy stuffed jalapeno recipe. What's different is that the jalapenos are stuffed with bacon, but not completely wrapped in it. All of us like bacon, but wrapping the pepper in bacon has a few drawbacks: 1) You won't really taste anything besides the bacon, and 2) the bacon will probably be undercooked when the pepper is ready. This lets all the ingredients. Finally, you could certainly add a lot of different things to the pepper stuffing, but I wanted to keep the recipe simple.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 large jalapenos
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded
4 slices bacon, thick-cut
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown up the bacon in a skillet until it reaches the desired level of crispness. Set aside and let cool.
  • Cut each jalapeno in half. I would suggest using a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. The idea is not to make this a super spicy recipe, but one that a majority of people will enjoy and where the flavors meld together.
  • Use a spoon to fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese. Do not overfill the pepper.
  • Finely crumble the bacon and mix with the shredded cheese.
  • Mound the cheese/bacon mixture on each pepper.
  • Grill over medium heat until the pepper has softened and the cheese melted. You can also smoke the peppers if you desire.
  • Optional: Melt some butter, toss with the panko bread crumbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the panko is golden brown. Top each pepper before grillingwith some panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

Tips for Making Jalapeños Rellenos:

  • Choose the Right Jalapenos: Select firm, evenly shaped jalapenos with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Roast the Jalapenos Properly: Roasting the jalapenos enhances their flavor and makes them easier to handle. Roast them directly over an open flame or in a hot oven until the skin blisters and blackens.
  • Remove the Seeds and Ribs Carefully: Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the seeds and ribs from the roasted jalapenos. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the spicy oils.
  • Prepare the Filling: The filling for jalapeños rellenos can vary widely. Common ingredients include cheese, ground beef or pork, rice, vegetables, and spices. Experiment with different fillings to find your favorite combination.
  • Stuff the Jalapenos Evenly: Use a spoon or your fingers to stuff the roasted jalapenos with the prepared filling. Make sure to fill them evenly and not overstuff them.
  • Batter and Fry the Jalapenos: Dip the stuffed jalapenos in a batter made from flour, eggs, and milk. Then, fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Jalapeños rellenos are traditionally served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Jalapeños rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this classic Mexican dish at home. Experiment with different fillings and dipping sauces to create your own unique version of jalapeños rellenos.
