Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 Large Jalapenos
- 1 Cup Queso Fresco
- 3/4 Cup [Driscoll's] Strawberries chopped
- Pepper
- 6 Slices Bacon we prefer applewood smoked for this dish
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil.
- On a cutting board, slice the jalapenos open from the top to the tip, being mindful not to cut through the other side. It should just be a slit to allow stuffing. If the pepper is especially stiff you can cut an I shape, a cut left to right just under the top, a slit from top to bottom and another left to right slit at the bottom like the capital letter I.6 Large Jalapenos
