Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 6 jalapenos
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces ground chorizo
  • 6 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes.
  • Use about a teaspoon of cream cheese to spread a thin layer in the jalapeno. Top with a small mound of chorizo. Wrap the jalapenos with the sliced bacon. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
  • Place stuffed jalapenos on a prepared baking sheet and bake 20 - 30 minutes or until bacon and chorizo are cooked through.
  • Allow to cool slightly and serve.

Notes

Removing the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños will cut the heat drastically. 
Make sure to use a regular cut of bacon, as apposed to thick cut. Thick cut won't crisp up quite as nicely. 
Make sure your cream cheese is softened well so that it is easier to put into the jalapenos. 
You don't have to line a baking dish with aluminum foil but it will make for easier clean up. 
If the bacon is not secure around the jalapeno, a toothpick will help secure it.
