A delightful twist on classic stuffed jalapeños, these cheesy poppers are perfect for any gathering.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, lime juice, salt, garlic, and cilantro until well blended.
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Wear gloves to avoid irritation from the jalapeño oils.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it gently.
Do not overfill to prevent the cheese from spilling out during grilling.
Place the stuffed jalapeños on the grill, cheese side up, and cook for about 8 minutes or until the peppers are slightly charred and the cheese is bubbly.
Use a grill basket or foil to keep the jalapeños stable.
Transfer the grilled jalapeños to a serving platter and garnish with diced tomato and additional cilantro.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
