Jalapeño Popper Bites
I LOVE having casual get-togethers with friends, and I’m all about finding delicious recipes that I can whip up in minutes. My easy, cheesy Jalapeño Popper Bites recipe is one of my favorite go-to recipes!
This bite-sized appetizer combines cheesy goodness with crunchy bacon, green onions and some HEAT (as much or as little as you want!). The cheese filling can be made a couple of days in advance and refrigerated.
Then you can just fill the tortillas and pop them in the oven the day of your gathering.
What’s the star of this appetizer show? It’s the cheese. But not just any cheese! It’s Kaukauna® Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread.
Y’ALL! Do you even know about this cheese? Kaukauna® is the brand that makes the cheese spread cups, the cheese balls (Port Wine is the BEST!), and cheese logs, all made with 100% cheese. These are a staple in our home because (a) everybody likes them and (b) they make me look all put together and fancy even when I’m not.
You can find Kaukauna® at most grocery stores, including Albertsons — where I purchased mine from the cheese island near the deli.
Here’s how you make these yummy little Jalapeño Popper Bites!
- One 6.5 oz Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cup, Sharp Cheddar
- One 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 large jalapeño, seeded and diced (adjust for amount of heat you desire)
- 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 bag of scoop style tortilla chips
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
- Set aside enough bacon and green onion to use as garnish
- In a medium bowl, combine the first five ingredients
- Spoon a rounded teaspoon of cheese filling into each scoop chip
- Bake for 8-10 minutes
- Garnish each bite with additional bacon and green onions
- If you don't like heat, then be sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños!
