Crispy Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
This Mexican variation of the jalapeno popper can be quite spicy! It is certainly delicious like any other popper, but beware --- these are extra addictive.
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeno peppers
- 10 ounces Chihuahua cheese
- 8 ounces cooked hot Mexican chorizo
- 1 egg
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- Olive oil for frying
Cooking Directions
- Remove stems from the jalapeno peppers and remove innards through the top with a pepper corer. If you do not have a corer, use a knife or very thin spoon.
- Stuff each jalapeno with layers of chorizo and Chihuahua cheese.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.
- Dip the stuffed jalapeno peppers into the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.
- In a deep frying pan, add about 1 inch of oil and heat thoroughly.
- Fry each breaded jalapeno popper about 3-5 minutes each side, or until golden brown.
- Top with your favorite salsa and serve!
