Macaroni & Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

Instructions

1. Lay the jalapenos flat, and cut out a triangle shape from the top. Scoop out the pith and seeds, creating a boat. On the underside, cut a thin slice to make a flat surface so they can easily lay flat. Rinse with cold water and set aside to dry.
2. Toppings: mix breadcrumbs, bacon bits, and cheddar cheese together in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. In a medium sized bowl, mix just half of the toppings into the macaroni & cheese. Reserve remaining toppings.
4. When the jalapeno boats are dry, season lightly with salt.
5. Fill each of boats with 1-2 ozs of the macaroni & cheese mixture.
6. Using the remaining toppings to top the filled jalapeno boats and carefully place onto an air fryer tray.
7. Air fry at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and/or Lime Crema.
