Jalapenos are a popular pepper used in Mexican cuisine, and stuffed jalapenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. Made with fresh or canned jalapeno peppers, the filling typically consists of a mixture of cheese, bread crumbs, vegetables, and spices. The peppers are then baked or fried until the filling is melted and bubbly, and the peppers are tender. This recipe presents three variations of stuffed jalapenos: a classic version with cream cheese and cheddar cheese, a spicy version with chorizo and pepper jack cheese, and a vegetarian version with black beans, corn, and salsa. All three recipes are easy to follow and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So whether you like your jalapenos mild, hot, or somewhere in between, you're sure to find a recipe in this article that you'll love.

Provided by Scott Winburn

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Meat and Poultry     Beef

Time 4h21m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ small onion, diced
¼ pound extra-lean ground beef
2 tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons taco seasoning
½ cup grated Chihuahua cheese
5 large jalapeno peppers
¼ cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 small eggs, beaten, divided
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
40 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook, stirring to break into very small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and taco seasoning; cook until water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  • Let beef mixture cool completely, about 10 minutes. Stir in Chihuahua cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut tops off jalapeno peppers and scoop out seeds and ribs. Stuff with beef mixture, using the thick end of a chopstick to pack in mixture. Stack upright against the edge of a casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until jalapeno peppers are soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Refrigerate jalapeno peppers until stuffing firms up, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine flour, 1 egg, milk, and butter in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture; mix until well combined. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until mostly smooth but slightly sticky, about 5 minutes.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise, about 20 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; push down to knock out air. Form into 1-inch buns and arrange 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Cover with the towel and let rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush tops of buns with beaten egg.
  • Bake buns in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Slice cold jalapeno peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Cut buns in half. Sandwich jalapeno pepper rings in the buns and secure with a toothpick. Arrange sliders in a casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake sliders in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for medium-sized jalapeños with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any jalapeños that are too large or have blemishes, as these may be more likely to be spicy.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the spiciness of the jalapeños. You can use a spoon or a paring knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: There are many different fillings that you can use to stuff jalapeños, such as cheese, ground beef, chorizo, or shrimp. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bake or fry the stuffed jalapeños: You can bake or fry the stuffed jalapeños, depending on your preference. If you're baking them, bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through. If you're frying them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the jalapeños for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

Mexican stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like them spicy or mild, cheesy or meaty, there is a stuffed jalapeño recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give stuffed jalapeños a try.
