Ingredients
- 10 Jalapeños, sliced in half, membranes and seeds removed
- 40 of your favorite tortilla chips (I suggest a flavored version)*
- 4 oz light cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
-
In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the tortilla chips and process until they resemble fine crumbs (like bread crumbs). Transfer to a shallow bowl and set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheese and milk until combined. Set aside.
-
In another separate bowl, beat together egg and egg white. Set aside.
-
Stuff each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture. Do not overfill.
-
Dip each stuffed pepper half in the egg mixture completely, then roll the pepper in the chip mixture and place pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with each pepper.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve while the poppers are hot!
