🛒 Ingredients
- ▶12-15 fresh jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeds removed
- ▶8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ▶1 cup Nacho Cheese Doritos, finely crushed (about 2 oz)
- ▶1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
- ▶1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- ▶1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- ▶12-15 slices thin-cut bacon, cut in half crosswise
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for even cooking.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
- 3
Using a small spoon or butter knife, generously fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese and Dorito mixture. Don't overfill, but ensure it's packed nicely.
- 4
Take one half-slice of bacon and carefully wrap it around each filled jalapeño half, securing it tightly. Place the bacon-wrapped poppers seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender. If desired, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve extra crispy bacon, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm.
