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

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.)
