Ingredients

4 oz. cream cheese

4 oz. Monterey jack, shredded

1/4 cup sour cream

3 scallions

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/8 tsp salt

12 jalapeños

1 Tbsp cooking oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Monterey jack, sour cream, scallions, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, and salt. Carefully slice each jalapeño down the center, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the ribs and seeds. Dip your fingers in the cooking oil and spread the oil over the outer surface of the peppers. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the filling into each hallowed jalapeño half. Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer . Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the peppers have softened and the cheese on top is slightly browned. Serve hot.
