Stuffed Chilies on the Grill

What You Need:

• 8 large chili peppers
• 1 (16 oz.) pkg. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

How to Make It:

1. Set the grill to medium hot allowing it to preheat.
2. Place the chili peppers on to grill grate and cook 10 minutes, turning occasionally or until charred.
3. Place the grilled peppers in a plastic and seal allowing them to steam for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the peppers and peel.
5. Cut a slit down the length of each pepper and remove the seeds.
6. Stuff each pepper with the cheese.
7. Close the peppers and secure with a toothpick.
8. Place the peppers on foil and wrap the foil around the peppers securing tightly.
9. Return the peppers to the grill for 10 minutes.
10. Open the packet and let the peppers cool for 5 minutes so the cheese will firm up slightly making them easier to handle. 

Makes 8 servings

These make a great appetizer or a side dish with burritos or tacos.  Any type of chili pepper will work as long as they are large enough to stuff.  Peppers such as Italian, Cubanelles or Hungarian hot wax work great.
