Jalapeno Lime Poppers

A sports bar appetizer not dripping with oil? Yep! Be sure to have a glass of milk nearby. This one will clear out your sinuses. Looking back, I would have added some of the lime zest, too.


Makes 12 Poppers

Ingredients:
-6 jalapenos, cut in half
-4 oz. nonfat cream cheese, softened
-1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
-juice of half a lime
-1/2 cup panko style bread crumbs
-1 tsp. chili powder

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2) In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs and chili powder. Set aside.

3) Cut jalapenos lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Fill each boat with a spoonful of the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Place on foil-lined baking pan and top each with the bread crumb coating, pressing in so it sticks.

4) Coat the poppers with some cooking spray. Bake 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned.
