Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeno peppers
  • 5 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 5 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon preferred seasonings I use a mix of cayenne, paprika and garlic - try taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 slices bacon thin cut

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon.
  • Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and seasonings to a bowl and mix well.
  • Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the spicy cheese mixture. You might have some leftover, depending on the size of your peppers. Just distribute evenly.
  • Wrap each stuffed jalapeno boat with a slice of bacon. Pierce with toothpicks to hold the bacon in place, if needed.
  • Air fry the jalapeno poppers for 10-12 minutes, or until bacon crisps up to your preference. You may need to do this in batches, depending on your air fryer brand.
  • Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve.
