Crispy breaded jalapeno rings oozing with zesty lime-spiked cream cheese.
8 steps, about 40 minutes start to finish.
Mix cream cheese with lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Slice jalapeños into 1-inch rings and remove seeds and membrane.
Fill each jalapeño ring with cream cheese mixture.
Set up dredging station: flour, then milk, then breadcrumbs.
Coat filled rings in flour, dip in milk, then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat milk and breadcrumb dip.
Heat oil to 325-350°F.
Fry poppers for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown.
Drain and let cool briefly before serving.
“Seed and devein the rings unless you want serious heat. Do the milk-and-breadcrumb dip twice for a thick, sealed coating so the cream cheese doesn't leak into the oil.”
