Instructions

1 Wash and dry the jalapenos.

Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise. Try to preserve the stem for presentation.

Clean the inside and make sure to remove all the white parts inside, which is
called the rib. That is the super spicy part of the jalapeno.
2 In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, pimento cheese, onion, serrano,
cilantro, garlic salt, lime, salt and mix well.

Optional: Add adobo sauce to create a deeper flavor profile. Or make two batches
of each option.
3 Bacon Tip: Fold over the Bacon in half lengthwise, then cut down the middle to
split the bacon in half.

Splitting the Bacon helps with the cooking of the bacon. This helps render the
bacon fat out quicker.

Secondly, it gives you more strips of bacon to wrap the jalapenos

Sprinkle the tops of the jalapenos with fresh, cracked black pepper.
4 Fill each jalapeno with around 2 tablespoons. Try to add as much as you can
without overfilling.
5 Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until the bacon is
evenly cooked.
