Notes
You can adjust the spiciness by leaving some seeds in the jalapeños if you prefer a hotter taste.
For added flavor, you can sprinkle some taco seasoning over the stuffed jalapeños before baking.
These can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just bake them right before serving for best results.
