Ingredients

• 10 jalapeño peppers

• Guava Paste strips  (optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 20 strips of bacon

• Toothpicks

Instructions

Preparing the Jalapeños

1. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Wear gloves to avoid irritation.

Making the Filling

2. Drain the salsa using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess liquid. Combine the softened cream cheese, drained salsa, your favorite Barbaro Mojo Hot Sauce and shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl and mix well.

Stuffing the Jalapeños

3. Spoon the filling into each jalapeño half, and top with optional guava paste strip of a bit of sweetness.

Wrapping with Bacon

4. Cover each half with its matching top, and wrap each stuffed jalapeño with bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Barbecuing

5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the poppers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Finishing Touches

6. Drizzle the cooked poppers with extra Barbaro Mojo Hot Sauce to taste.

Serving

7. Let the jalapeño poppers cool before serving.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, consider partially pre-cooking the bacon before wrapping the jalapeños.
• If grilling isn’t an option, bake them in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
• Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of Barbaro Mojo hot sauce used.
