Filling and Dressing
Preparation and Cooking
1. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Prepare the Jalapeños
Carefully slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat. Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
3. Wrap with Tortillas
Place the filled jalapeños on a small tortilla and wrap them tightly. Use toothpicks to secure if necessary.
4. Fry the Chimis
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the wrapped jalapeños until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Make the Cucumber Ranch Dressing
Finely chop the cucumber and mix it into the ranch dressing. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Serve
Remove the baby chimis from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with cucumber ranch dressing on the side.
