The other day at Publix I saw these bootiful jalapeños and the first thing I thought of was how much I wanted to stuff them and try air frying them. I’ve always loved jalapeño poppers but I wanted something quick and easy without the hassle of deep frying. And these babies only take 5 minutes in the air fryer! How convenient and easy is that?! I also got the idea of using a taki bread crumb coating from Stephanie Soo on YouTube. I love watching her true crime mukbangs and she had stuffed a jalapeño with cream cheese and then inserted some takis inside. It looked really yummy so I used that idea and turned it into a whole jalapeño popper.
Ingredients:
- 10-12 medium to large jalapeños
- PAM oil spray
- garlic salt for topping
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 package Boursin garlic and fine herb cheese
- 2-3 oz plain cream cheese
- 1/3 of the tub of chive whipped cream cheese
- 7 oz of your favorite shredded cheese
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Taki crumb coating Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp melted salted butter
- 3 tbsp-1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1-2 tbsp crushed takis
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
Directions:
- Halve and deseed all of the jalapeños.
- Mix together all the filling ingredients into a small bowl.
- In another small bowl mix all the ingredients for the taki crumb coating.
- Fill the jalapeños with the cream cheese mixture.
- Dip the jalapeños into the taki crumb coating cream cheese face down.
- Arrange the jalapeño poppers in the air fryer, spray with PAM and air fry at 390 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle some garlic salt on each if needed and enjoy hot!
