EASY CHEESE-STUFFED JALAPENOS



Easy Cheese-Stuffed Jalapenos image

A few years ago, I saw a man in the grocery store buying a big bag of jalapeno peppers. I asked him what he intended to do with them, and right there in the store he gave me this fabulous recipe for stuffed jalapenos! -Janice Montiverdi, Sugar Land, Texas

3 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese

4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, deep green jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Properly devein and seed the jalapeños: Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the jalapeño's oils.
  • Pre-roast the jalapeños: Roasting the jalapeños before stuffing them helps to soften them and bring out their flavor. Toss the jalapeño halves with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Make sure the tuna salad is well-seasoned: The tuna salad is the main filling for the jalapeños, so it's important to make sure it's flavorful. Use high-quality tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and seasonings. Taste the tuna salad before stuffing the jalapeños and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Pack the jalapeños tightly: Use a small spoon or your fingers to pack the tuna salad tightly into the jalapeño halves. This will help to keep the jalapeños from falling apart when they're baked.
  • Bake the stuffed jalapeños until golden brown: Bake the stuffed jalapeños in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the tuna salad is heated through.
  • Serve the stuffed jalapeños immediately: Stuffed jalapeños are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with cilantro, shredded cheese, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Tuna stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. With a little planning and preparation, you can make these tasty treats in no time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting appetizer, give tuna stuffed jalapeños a try!
