Calories: 147kcal
- 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
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.
