Crunchy Jalapeño Taco Poppers
Ingredients
for 24 poppers
24 jalapeñoes
1 lb (455 g) ground beef
1 oz (30 g) taco seasoning, 1 package
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup (10 g) fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (100 g) shredded cheese blend
½ cup (110 g) cream cheese
4 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups (185 g) flour, mixed with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper
4 cups (120 g) cornflake cereal, crushed
1 cup (30 g) cornflake cereal, finely ground
8 cups (1.9 L) canola oil
¼ cup (10 g) fresh cilantro, chopped
fresh lime juice, for seasoning
salsa, for serving
Preparation
- Slice the jalapeños lengthwise down the center, taking care to cut through only one side and leaving the pepper as intact as possible.
- Remove the seeds.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Mix to combine.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 1 minute, then add garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the beef mixture and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- In a clean, large bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture, shredded cheese, and cream cheese.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe the beef mixture into the jalapeños, then close the peppers.
- Heat a large pot filled with the oil until it reaches 325ºF (170ºC).
- Add the seasoned flour, eggs, and cornflakes to 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip the peppers in the egg, then the flour, followed by the egg again, and then the cornflakes. Dip once more in the egg and finish with a second dip in the cornflakes.
- Fry the peppers, in batches, for 2½ minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a wire cooling rack.
- Season the peppers well with salt and fresh lime juice.
- Serve warm with salsa for dipping.
- Enjoy!
