This classic game-day appetizer checks all the boxes—creamy, cheesy, spicy, and crunchy—while being easy to prep ahead so you can focus on the game, and not on your game day snacks.
Instructions
- Prepare the grill for Indirect Medium Heat cooking. Preheat for at least 15 minutes before brushing the grill grates clean.
- Set the grill to 400°F and preheat for 15 minutes before brushing the grill grates clean.
- To make the filling, mix the cheeses, cilantro, and 1 tbsp of the seasoning together in a medium mixing bowl, making sure everything is fully combined.
- Cut the jalapeños in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and veins. This will make the jalapeños less spicy, and give you space for the filling.
- Stuff each of the jalapeño halves with about 1 tbsp of the filling.
- Mix the crushed tortilla chips and remaining seasoning together, then top the jalapeños with the chip mixture (see recipe tip).
- Bake until the topping is browned, and the jalapeños are slightly softened, 20–22 minutes.
- Let the jalapeño poppers rest for 5 minutes, then top them with additional cilantro to serve.
