Stuffed Jalapeno Pita Bites image

These delicious appetizers were a hit at our Easter Sunday potluck Brunch. I was pleased to find the recipe was in one of our local cook books 'A Taste Of Heaven' and surprisingly a recipe I had been thinking of trying. Delicious, easy and a crowd pleaser! I find putting them on a cookie sheet and heating through in a 350 oven make for a marvelous hot appetizer. Also excellent at room temperature.

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 count) package mini pita pockets (Cut in half)
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
8 slices bacon (cooked cooled and crumbled)
1 small tomatoes, finely chopped
1/3 cup jalapeno peppers, finely chopped or 1/3 cup use a small 4 1/2 ounce jar of garlic and jalapeno puree

Steps:

  • Cook bacon, cool and crumble.
  • Cut mini pitas in half with scissors.
  • In bowl microwave margarine and onions until soft - about 2 minutes.
  • Add cream cheese and blend with mixer until creamy, fold in crumbled bacon, tomato and peppers and stuff into pitas.
  • NOTE instead of the jalapeno peppers you may use a small jar (just under 4 1/2 ounces)of garlic and jalapeno puree, which is my favorite way of preparing these. This also makes a terrific dip.
