Grilled Stuffed Jalapeños
A healthy spin on deep-fried jalapeño poppers, this festive recipe will be a big hit on the grill.
Ingredients
- 16 jalapeños
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbs. chopped green onions
- ½ tsp. minced fresh garlic
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. chili powder
Directions
STEP 1
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the peppers. Make a lengthwise slit down each pepper, leaving the stem intact; carefully remove ribs and seeds. Fill each pepper with 1 tablespoon cheese and bean mixture.
STEP 2
Heat your grill on one side to medium-high heat and leave the other side unheated. You will be cooking the peppers with indirect heat. Place the peppers on a sheet of aluminum foil and place on cool side of the grill. (If you have a gas grill, simply leave one of the burners unlit and this will be your cooking area.)
STEP 3
Cover grill and cook for eight to 12 minutes or until the peppers have softened and the cheese has melted. (You can also broil the peppers in an oven.)
