Ingredients

  • 15 jalapenos
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ¾ cup Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup bacon bits

Instructions

  • Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the insides of each half so they are hollow. Set the prepped jalapenos aside.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Colby Jack cheese, and half of the bacon until the cheese and bacon is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese.
  • Using a spoon or spatula, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese filling.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and remaining bacon. Dip the top cream cheese side of each popper into the breadcrumbs to fully coat the cream cheese.  
  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the air fryer has preheated, cook the jalapeno poppers 5-6 at a time for 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
