Black Bean Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Ingredients
12 jalapeno peppers
4 ears corn
1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained
6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Wearing rubber gloves, cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them, cut side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cut the corn kernels off the ears of corn and toss kernels in a large bowl with the black beans, Cheddar cheese and sour cream. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Stuff the filling into the empty cavity of each pepper. It’s okay if they overflow a little.
In a small bowl, whisk together the panko, smoked paprika and salt. Sprinkle over the peppers so that they are evenly coated.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and oozing and the poppers are golden. Serve hot.
