Jalapeño Popper Dip
Serves 8-10 people
What You Need:
16 oz cream cheese — softened
1/2 package of bacon (cook the rest for dipping though)5 jalapeños
1/4 chopped cilantro
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt & pepper (or to taste)
1 tsp garlic
juice of 1 large lime
What You Do:
Preheat oven to 400°. Lay bacon out on a rack & cook for twenty minutes. Coat the jalapeños in olive oil & bake for fifteen minutes, rotating once or twice. You’re looking for a nice “char” on them. Meanwhile chop up your cilantro & garlic & combine it with the salt+pepper & cream cheese along with the juice of one large lime. Mix it thoroughly, a hand mixer works great. When the bacon is done, chop it up & add it to the mixture. When the jalapeños are done, cut the ends of & scrape out the seeds, chop them up, & combine. Serve with your favorite dipping tool.
