Give your Friday night a little kick with this twist on a classic treat. Our Jalapeño Tuna Poppers are stuffed with Chunk Light Tuna, cream cheese and herbs, then breaded and baked until lightly browned.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (6.4 oz.) Pouch - Chunk Light Tuna in Water
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 - 12 cups cheddar jack cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 12 tsp. cumin
  • 15 jalapeño peppers
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 12 cup breadcrumbs
  • 14cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp. oregano
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl mix tuna, softened cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, garlic and spices until well blended.
  • Cut jalapeños lengthwise, halfway through and across the top partway through. Clean the seeds out with a gloved finger.
  • Take 1 - 1 12 tsp. of the tuna mixture and stuff the inside of each pepper, then push closed. (The pepper should stay shut.)
  • Dip the pepper in egg and coat thoroughly, then dip in the breadcrumb mixture and set on a cutting board to dry.
  • Dip for a second time in the egg mixture and bread crumb mixture and place on a cookie sheet, sprayed or brushed lightly with cooking oil. Spray top and sides of the peppers lightly with oil.
  • Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
