Easy Jalapeno Bacon Bites

Serves 5-7

8-10 Fresh Jalapenos ¾ Cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend 1 8oz Package Cream Cheese 8-10 Slices of Thick Cut Bacon

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with olive oil or covering with a sheet of foil. -Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise. Core jalapenos by removing the seeds and light green rinds from the inside of the jalapenos with a paring knife. Cut off tops of jalapenos to remove the stem. -In a medium bowl combine cream cheese with the shredded Mexican cheese. Using your hands will make combining the cheeses easier. -Stuff cheese mixture into the hollowed out jalapenos. -Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each jalapeno working in a spiral to cover as much of the jalapeno as possible. -Place jalapenos on cookie sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes until bacon is crispy and jalapeno skins have started to brown and wrinkle on the outside.
