Ingredients:
- 10 Jalapeños
- 10 José Olé chicken taquitos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 strips of bacon
- ½ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven according to José Olé taquito package instructions.
- Prep your Jalapeños by cutting in half lengthwise and removing seeds.
- Bake taquitos following José Olé package instructions.
- Fry bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy (or until your liking.)
- Once taquitos are finished baking, cut each taquito into bite-sized pieces (so two pieces will fit inside your jalapeño half.) Set aside.
- Once cooked, dice the bacon and mix with the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Fill jalapeño halves with the bacon-cream cheese mixture and top with roughly half of your shredded Mexican blend cheese, saving the remaining cheese for later.
- Cook the filled jalapeños in an air fryer at 370 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove and place two taquito pieces in each one, then top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Return to airfryer until cheese is melted (about 1-2 minutes.) Serve and enjoy!
