24 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded
16 ounces cream cheese
1/2 pound uncooked chorizo
24 slices of bacon, cut into halves (about 2 pounds)
1 cup Stubb’s Smokey Mesquite Bar-B-Q Sauce
Preheat a skillet to medium heat. Remove the chorizo from the casing and cook over medium heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Mix the cream cheese and chorizo.
Stuff each jalapeño half with cream cheese mixture. Wrap with half a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking. Place peppers onto the grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning frequently. Baste peppers with Smokey Mesquite Bar-B-Q sauce in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Alternatively, cook in the oven for 25–30 minutes at 350°F, adding the barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
