Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and cheddar cheese until well blended.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half.

  4. 4

    Wrap with Bacon

    Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap it around the stuffed jalapeños, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

  5. 5

    Grill the Jalapeños

    Place the jalapeños on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the jalapeños are grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the grilled jalapeños hot, topped with pico de gallo, alongside warm corn tortillas.
