Ingredients

The following ingredients have 32 Servings
  • 16 jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3.5 oz chipotle in adobo pepper, cut into tiny pieces, as small as possible ((sold in 7 oz cans so I used half a can))
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 pound bacon, slices cut in half

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • Cut jalapeno peppers in half, lengthwise. Scrape seeds and core out and discard. 
  • In a small bowl combine cream cheese, chipotle pepper in adobo, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • With a small spoon smooth the mixture into the inside of each jalapeno. Wrap each piece with a strip of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Pop in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of your peppers. Mine were done in about 25 this time around.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Serve with a big old spicy smile.
