Baked Mexican Street Corn Jalapeño Poppers Recipe

Oct 12 2023
Bake up some better-for-you jalapeño poppers! For this recipe, we stuffed our peppers with a filling inspired by Mexican street corn, because we literally can’t get enough of the creamy & tangy flavor. And, we suspect, neither can you. (P.S. We skipped fully coating the bottoms of our poppers with breadcrumbs because they’re easier to make this way but no less delicious.)

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. whipped cream cheese

2 tbsp. light mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. lime juice

1 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning, divided

1 cup frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

1∕4 cup panko bread crumbs

2 dashes cayenne pepper

6 jalapeño peppers

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, lime juice, and 1 tsp. taco seasoning. Mix until smooth and uniform. Add corn, feta, and cilantro. Gently stir.

In another small bowl, combine bread crumbs, cayenne pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning. Mix well.

Halve jalapeño peppers lengthwise; remove and discard seeds and ribs (the lighter part the seeds are attached to). Evenly fill pepper halves with creamy corn mixture. Top with seasoned bread crumbs.

Place stuffed pepper halves on the baking sheet. Bake until outsides are crispy and peppers have softened, 25–30 minutes.
