Terra's Jalapeno Poppers
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Norpro Grip-EZ Jalapeno Pepper Corer optional
Ingredients
- Fresh Jalapeno Peppers
- Light Laughing Cow Cheese I use Spicy Pepper Jack
- Olive oil spritz/spray
- Tajin optional but highly recommended!
- Light Ranch optional for dipping
- BBQ Sauce optional for dipping
Instructions
- Wash jalapeños, cut the ends off and remove seeds and core, unless you like them REALLY spicy! This little corer tool has been a life saver. Trying to get the seeds out with a knife is very tricky and requires far more patience than I have!
- Stuff each pepper with cheese. I try to use 1/2 a wedge per pepper. Although it doesn't completely stuff the pepper, the cheese is so strong it does the trick. If the peppers are large, feel free to use more cheese and simply adjust the Points total accordingly.
- Spritz poppers with olive oil and if desired, sprinkle with Tajin. Before moving to the west coast, I had never had Tajin or even heard of it. Now, less than a year later, I can't live without it! If you're not familiar, it's a lime-ish, taco-ish flavored seasoning that tastes great on nearly everything.....popcorn, salads, in dips, over grilled veggies, etc., etc.
- Air fry the poppers at 350* for 15 minutes. I have noticed different brands of air fryers cook at various temps, so be sure to check your poppers a couple of times and adjust your cook time accordingly.
- Serve plain, with light ranch or with BBQ sauce for dipping. We like BBQ sauce with our poppers the best. We switched to G Hughes Smokehouse Hickory flavored sugar free BBQ sauce
