Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers

About This Recipe

Crispy bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers stuffed with a sweet and spicy blend of chorizo and cream cheese.

Ingredients

• 5 Jalapeño Peppers (about 3" long)
• 3 oz Lean Chorizo*
• 2 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese (room temp or softened**)
• 10 slices Center Cut Bacon
• 1/2 Tbsp 11g Honey
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the chorizo in a skillet before removing from the heat and adding the cream cheese and honey. Stir to fully combine and set aside to briefly cool.
2. Cut the jalapeños in half and remove any seeds and membranes with a spoon.
3. Fill the pepper halves with the chorizo filling and wrap each with a slice of bacon. Do your best to tightly wrap the bacon and minimize gaps on top of the poppers.
4. Spray an air fryer basket with cooking spray before adding the poppers. Cook at 375ºF for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is as crispy as you'd like. (Different air fryer sizes/models may affect cook time so check on your first batch of poppers early to avoid burning the bacon.)
