Cheesy Beef-Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers with Avocado & LimeCheesy Beef-Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers with Avocado & Lime — a 35-minute snack recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ avocados

¾ small bunch cilantro

15 jalapeño peppers

0.34 kg lean ground beef

1 ½ limes

3 shallots

1 cup shredded cheese, Mexican blend

black pepper

chili powder

cumin, ground

salt

sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F). Line two baking sheet pans with aluminum foil to make clean up easier (optional).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Halve jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon. Divide between the baking sheets and set aside. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Place in a medium bowl.

Peel and mince shallots. Add to the bowl with the cilantro along with beef, cheese, sesame seeds, and spices; mix with your hands until well combined.

Stuff jalapeño halves with the beef mixture, pressing firmly into each pepper. Arrange stuffed peppers on the baking sheets, about 1-inch apart.

Place baking sheets in the oven and bake until jalapeños are tender and beef is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and slice each half lengthwise into 10 thin wedges. Cut limes into wedges.

Divide stuffed jalapeños between plates; top each with a slice of avocado. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing and enjoy!
