In my family eating Jalapeños is a right of passage. I will never forget the painfully hot pepper eating contests at home with my dad. Most of the time it ended with my dad laughing at me while my mouth was on fire. Now I get to pass on this tradition with my own kids. That's when I came up with this recipe, to show my kids that daddy's still got it. Plus - Jalapeños, avocados, spices, and cheese, who could say no to that?

Ingredients

Recipe Note

You can always use smaller Jalapeños if you are feeding more guests just double the filling recipe. You might even want to try bacon bits as a garnish!
