Delicious grilled appetizer. A nice change from regular hot poppers. My grandson devours these! Ingredients:
1/4 cup sour cream |
16 miniature sweet peppers (they are about the size of a jalapeno, usually red and yellow, i find them at costco) |
1 cup shredded mexican blend cheese |
1 tomato, cored, seeded, and diced |
1/4 cup red onion, diced |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
Directions:
1. Spoon sour cream into a 1-quart zip-loc freezer bag; seal and chill.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
3. Rinse peppers; cut in half length-wise. Remove seeds and veins.
4. Mix together in small bowl cheese, tomato, onion, cilantro and salt.
5. Fill pepper halves evenly with cheese mixture; pressing it into hollows.
6. Lay filled peppers, cheese side up on grill (I use a grill pan for ease, but it's not necessary).
7. Cook until blistered and slightly charred on the bottoms, approximately 3-5 minutes.
8. With a wide spatula, move peppers to serving platter.
9. Snip 3/4-inch corner off the sour cream bag and pipe evenly over the hot peppers.
10. Serve immediately.
