Stuffed Jalapenos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes carefully.

  2. 2

    Stuff with Cheese

    Cut the Oaxaca cheese into small pieces and stuff each jalapeno half with the cheese, pressing it in well.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly add the beer, mixing until smooth.

  4. 4

    Dip and Fry

    Dip each stuffed jalapeno into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat and fry the jalapenos until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare Chipotle Aioli

    In a small bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers (chopped), and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the stuffed jalapenos hot with the chipotle aioli on the side for dipping.
