LINA'S AVOCADO & LIME JALAPENO POPPERS
Tired of the same old jalapeno poppers? I wanted something different and came up with this. I've also mixed in bacon bits into the avocado mixture. My DH really liked that. But I didn't care for the bacon in it. I just thought it took away the lime flavor. The lime really gives these such a fresh zesty taste. See note on bottom.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mash the avocado & cream cheese till smooth. Mix in the the lime juice, garlic powder and cumin. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove seeds. (you might want to wear gloves when handling peppers.).
- Stir in the cheese. Fill each pepper. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- **Note** Depending on the size of your jalapenos, you may have leftover filling. I filled around 12 medium to small peppers.
JALAPENO PEPPER POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Cut about 1/2-inch off the top each jalapeno pepper. Take the top pieces that you just cut off, cut the sides off and reserve, discarding the middle stem pieces. These will be used to plug the open end of each pepper to help keep the cheese from melting out. Using a straight peeler, scrape out the seeds and ribs from the inside of each of the peppers.
- Slice each cheese stick into pieces that are just slightly shorter than the jalapenos. Stuff a pepper with a piece of cheese. Take the reserved side pieces and place them into the open end of the pepper, covering the cheese and plugging the hole. Take a piece of bacon and wrap the pepper from the bottom end to the top end, making sure to secure the "plug" at the top end. Take a second piece of bacon and lay it down on a clean work surface. Roll up the pepper so that it is almost completely covered in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining peppers, cheese, bacon and toothpicks. Sprinkle each with chili powder.
- Place on the grill, cover and cook over indirect heat until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, making sure to turn every 3 to 4 minutes.
- While the poppers are grilling, combine the sour cream, cream cheese and honey in a small bowl. Mix until well blended and serve with the poppers.
- Cook's Note: The poppers can also be made in the oven. Place the poppers onto a baking sheet fitted with a rack that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 400 F degree oven until the bacon is brown and crispy, 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are easier to scoop out and have a creamier texture.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the avocados and jalapeños.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: Jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when handling them.
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeños: Be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeños before stuffing them, as they can be quite spicy.
- Use a variety of cheese: You can use any type of cheese that you like for the filling, but a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese is a classic choice.
