A plate of jalaquito poppers

Prep Time: 17 mins

Ingredients

  • 10 Jalapeños

  • 10 José Olé chicken taquitos

  • 8 ounces cream cheese

  • 3 strips of bacon

  • 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Directions

  • Preheat your oven according to José Olé taquito package instructions.

  • Prep your Jalapeños by cutting in half lengthwise and removing seeds.

  • Bake taquitos following José Olé package instructions.

  • Fry bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy (or until your liking.)

  • Once taquitos are finished baking, cut each taquito into bite-sized pieces (so two pieces will fit inside your jalapeño half.) Set aside.

  • Once cooked, dice the bacon and mix with the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until well combined.

  • Fill jalapeño halves with the bacon-cream cheese mixture and top with roughly half of your shredded Mexican blend cheese, saving the remaining cheese for later.

  • Cook the filled jalapeños in an air fryer at 370 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove and place two taquito pieces in each one, then top with the remaining shredded cheese.

  • Return to airfryer until cheese is melted (about 1-2 minutes.) Serve and enjoy!
