Few know that Jalapeños are scientifically a fruit but, known as a vegetable to the rest of the world. Which ever way you see em', they're just downright yummy and so low carb!

Anyway, one of my students was recently placed on a super low carb, high protein diet and this is what he craved today. Sure, they're not much for pretty being grilled and all but, they do fit the bill for any adventurous dieter needing a culinary kick! Only 20 calories per extra large popper! [minus the bronco berry sauce of course] Excelent work Jacob!

All photos and directions were posted by my ever talented, VERY hungry 8 year old student! These suckers really are super creamy and absolutely delicious! Especially for a dieter! They're tummy soothing and creamy filled goodness!

6

Snip the bottom corner off and pipe cheese into your empty jalapeños. Add a fresh cilantro leaves to the top of your cheese. Place sliced caps back on for presentation purposes.
7

Place on indirect heat for 30 to 35 minutes - depending upon the size of your jalapeños. Cover and seal.
