2 tbsp oil
For Garnish: Salsa, guac, pickled onions, limes
Directions
Step 1
Using your oven roast the jalapenos for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Or 350 degrees for 10 minutes using the air fryer.

8 jalapenos
Step 2
Once the peppers are roasted, cut a slit down the center of the jalapeno, remove the seeds and place back on the baking sheet. Continue with all the peppers.
Step 3
Stuff the peppers with your favorite melting cheese, I used queso chihuahua, but mozzarella/pepper jack/colby jack also work. Place back into your oven or air fryer to melt the cheese.
