Ingredients

  • 12 jalapeños (de-seeded and halved)
  • 1 chicken sausage (casing removed)
  • 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 large avocado (mashed)
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Fry chicken sausage in a small pan over medium-high heat, breaking up into small crumbles while the sausage cooks. Once finished, set aside.
  • Mix yogurt, avocado, garlic powder, onion, powder, Worcestershire, cilantro, and chicken sausage together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff jalapenos halves with avocado yogurt mixture and sprinkle a small amount of cheese on top of each one.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes until cheese is melted and starting to brown and jalapenos are soft and roasted. Cooking longer makes the jalapenos less spicy.
  • Serve with lime wedges which should be squeezed over the peppers before eating.
