Notes

  • Wear gloves when handling the peppers.
  • You can bake the peppers ahead of time to temper them a little.
  • Switch up the flavor profile by adding your favorite seasoning blend.
  • Try Fresno chilies or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper instead of jalapeno.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese not grated cheese. It tends to be powdery.
