Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese, shredded Mexican cheese, crumbled bacon, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Spoon the cheese mixture generously into each jalapeno half, ensuring each pepper is evenly filled. (10 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Arrange the filled jalapenos on a baking sheet, filled-side up. (2 minutes)

05

Step
12 mins

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. (12 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Let the rellenos cool slightly before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese filling.
If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the jalapeno halves in ice water for 30 minutes before filling to reduce some of the heat.
These rellenos are best served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.

    I used pickled jalapenos because I couldn't find fresh ones. Still turned out great!
