Oven-Baked Cream Cheese Jalapeño Poppers with Taco Seasoning
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 12 medium jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 2 tablespoons fine bread crumbs, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent cheese residue buildup.
3
Mix softened cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, and the desired seasoning blend in a bowl until well combined.
4
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into hollowed-out jalapeño peppers and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Lightly sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs over the cheese filling to add texture and crunch.
6
Bake the stuffed peppers in a preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are just tender and the filling is heated through.
