Ingredients
  • 15 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 cup cooked, diced steak
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup cooked, rinsed black beans
  • 8 oz block cream cheese at room temp
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning or southwest seasoning blend
Instructions

  1. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and ribs.

    Note: Recommended to wear plastic gloves when handling jalapenos. 

  2. Put the steak, corn, black beans, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and taco/ southwest seasoning in a bowl. Mix everything together.

    Note: I had the best luck with a metal spoon, using the backside of the spoon to incorporate everything with the cream cheese.

  3. Fill each jalapeno half with this mixture and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes (or put them on a smoker set to 250 degrees for 45 minutes).
