Air Fryer Chorizo Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers
Air Fryer Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers with chorizo sausage… do snack recipes really get any better than this?!
I am equally in love with both chorizo and goat cheese, so stuffing this mixture in a jalapeno sounded like a great idea!
Air Fryer Chorizo Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers were part of our snacky-snack Friday dinner actually.
It’s no fun making a complete meal on the weekends, we like to make a bunch of appetizers to welcome those weekend vibes 🙂
To make these poppers, first put a pound of ground chorizo sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook that for a few minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Drain the excess grease from the chorizo once it’s cooked. And set the heat to low.
Then add in 8 oz of goat cheese. I got the spreadable kind like this (they only came in 4 oz logs so I added two).
And also a cup of shredded cheddar cheese, kosher salt, and pepper.
Mix this together for a few minutes over low heat until it’s all melted together.
It does take a few minutes, but I pinky promise it will 🙂
As the chorizo and goat cheese mixture cools, prepare the jalapeno peppers for stuffing.
I recommend wearing gloves for this, my skin is super sensitive to jalapenos.
Cut each in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and white ribs with a spoon.
Or leave a few seeds for some extra heat if preferred.
Next stuffed them really full with that scrumptious chorizo and goat cheese mixture.
I had just a tad bit of the filling left and it was super yummy with tortilla chips!
Put the peppers in the air fryer in a single layer.
You will most likely have to make these in two batches unless you have a really big air fryer.
Set the air fryer to 370 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how well you want the jalapenos cooked.
Air Fryer Chorizo Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers are SO yummy!
And the jalapenos themselves still have a slight crunch and don’t get mushy.
As you can see, the top of the filling gets a gorgeous golden brown crust, which is quite possibly my favorite part.
