Directions
Step 1
To the Jalapenos, cut slits into one side, length wise then across on top, essentially cutting a T shape into the jalapenos. Gently open up the jalapeno and remove the insides.

1 cup shredded cheese, Chihuahua, mozzarella, colby jack, pepper jack, etc
Step 3
Stuff the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4
Wrap the jalapenos with the bacon, thin cut works better, I like to overlap the ends of the bacon under other parts of bacon so that they dont unwrap when cooking. You can also use toothpicks to hold the bacon together.

1 package bacon
Step 5
Place the poppers in the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 400 degrees making sure to flip/turn halfway through.
Step 6
Serve as is or in tacos.
Step 7
If serving with Pico de Gallo, to a bowl add 2 diced roma tomatoes, 1 diced jalapeno, 1/2 diced white onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 or 2 limes, salt and pepper to taste.
