Ten minutes is all you need to put together this unforgettable Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos appetizer. It’s filled with smoky crumbled bacon, cheese, cilantro and a little lime juice for extra punch.
These peppers are to die for. I’ve made them just about weekly since we have tried them. Excellent flavor! Love, love, love them!
