🧂 Ingredients

• 10 jalapeno peppers

• 8 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chili powder

  let them cool. Crumble them into a mixing bowl, but reserve some for topping.
• 3 Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and spices to the mixing bowl. Mix until
  well combined.
• 4 Fill each jalapeno slice with the spiced cheese mixture.
• 5 Heat a grill to medium heat and grill the jalapeno poppers for 10-15 minutes, or
  until the poppers are done to your liking.

  chopped cilantro, and serve.
