Notes

You can remove the seeds from the jalapeños for less heat.

Ensure that your cream cheese is room temperature it will be much easier to combine the filling together.

Shred your cheese! do not buy pre-shredded cheese its coated and tends to not melt as well.

You can use pickled jalapeños instead of fresh if you prefer.
