Cream Cheese & Takis stuffed Jalapeño😋🤤

Calling all spice lovers!

This recipe is for you. We’re taking the classic combo of creamy and spicy to a whole new level with Cream Cheese & Takis Stuffed Jalapeños.

It’s a super easy and satisfying snack that’s perfect for parties, game nights, or whenever you need a quick spicy fix.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Fresh jalapeños (the amount depends on how many you want to make!)
• Cream cheese (softened to room temperature is easiest to work with)
• Takis (any flavor you like, but Fuego is a classic choice for the extra kick!)

Let’s get cooking!

1. Wash it up!
   First things first, rinse your jalapeños thoroughly under clean water.
2. Glove Up (Optional, but recommended)
   Jalapeños can be pretty spicy, and the oils can irritate your skin and eyes. To avoid any burning surprises, consider wearing gloves while you handle them.
3. Time to Cut!
   Lay your jalapeños flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut them in half lengthwise. This will create little “boats” to hold all the deliciousness.
4. Seed Duty
   Now comes the important part: removing the seeds. This is where the heat lives! Use a spoon or your fingers (with gloves on!) to gently scrape out the seeds and white membranes from inside the jalapeño halves. The more seeds you remove, the milder the final product will be. You can rinse the inside of the jalapeños again for good measure.
5. Creamy Center
   Grab your softened cream cheese and spoon it into the hollowed-out jalapeños. Don’t be shy, fill them up nice and good!
6. The Takis Touch!
   Here comes the fun part! Open up your bag of Takis. You can either shove a couple whole Takis into each jalapeño half, or for a more even distribution, crush them up a bit in a plastic bag. Sprinkle the crushed Takis over the cream cheese filling, making sure to get them nice and packed in.
7. Enjoy!
   That’s it! Your spicy and creamy masterpieces are ready to be devoured. Serve them immediately or store them in the fridge for a cool and refreshing (well, kind of) treat later.

Tips:

• Want to add another layer of flavor? Mix in some chopped chives or cilantro with your cream cheese before stuffing.
• Not a huge fan of super spicy food? Start with a milder Takis flavor or use less of them.
• Feeling adventurous? Deep fry your stuffed jalapeños for a crispy, golden brown exterior.
• No Takis? No problem! You can use any kind of crunchy, spicy snack you like, such as Flamin’ Hot Cheetos or crushed chili peppers.

So there you have it! A simple and delicious recipe for Cream Cheese & Takis Stuffed Jalapeños. This is a great way to satisfy your cravings for something spicy and creamy. Just be warned, these little guys are addictive!
