Preparing Smoked Jalapeños

  1. 1

    Smoke the Jalapeños

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Cut the stems off the jalapeños and slice them in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them in the smoker cut side up and smoke for about 1.5 hours or until they are tender and have a smoky flavor.

    Once the jalapeños are smoked and cooled, chop them finely and add them to the cheese mixture.
