Calories 120kcal
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.
