LINA'S AVOCADO & LIME JALAPENO POPPERS



Lina's Avocado & Lime Jalapeno Poppers image

Tired of the same old jalapeno poppers? I wanted something different and came up with this. I've also mixed in bacon bits into the avocado mixture. My DH really liked that. But I didn't care for the bacon in it. I just thought it took away the lime flavor. The lime really gives these such a fresh zesty taste. See note on bottom.

JALAPEñO POPPERS



Jalapeño Poppers image

There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Time 1h

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium jalapeños (no longer than 3 inches each, about 2/3 pound total)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Scant 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 scallions, whites and greens parts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lime, zested (about 1/2 teaspoon), optional
Kosher salt and black pepper
12 thin slices uncooked bacon (thick-cut bacon won't cook as evenly), halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
  • Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
  • Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
16 small jalapeñoes
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
32 oz prepared pizza dough
¼ cup baking soda
1 large egg yolk, beaten
coarse sea salt, for topping
½ cup crema
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaf
1 lime, zested
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and another with foil, then grease with nonstick spray.
  • Trim the tops and bottom tips from the jalapeños. Cut the jalapeños in half crosswise and remove the seeds and ribs, taking care not to break the jalapeños.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until well combined. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  • Pipe the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half to fill completely.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 32 1-ounce portions and roll into balls. Gently press each piece of dough into a small, flat circle. Place a stuffed jalapeño half in the center, then gather the dough around the jalapeño and roll into a ball, sealing completely. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda to the boiling water.
  • Working in batches, boil the dough balls, until the dough begins to swell, about 20-30 seconds. Remove from the water and place on the foil-lined baking sheet, arranging in 2 concentric circles with a space in the middle.
  • Brush the dough balls with the beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake the poppers for about 25 minutes, until the dough is cooked through and tops are deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, make the creamy cilantro lime dip: Add the crema, avocado, cilantro, mint, lime zest and juice, and salt to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl that will fit into the center of the popper ring.
  • Place the dip in the center of the ring, then serve.
  • Enjoy!
