If you are growing different kind of chili peppers, you can prepare this colourful set of hot starters with cheese.
Remember to warn your guests: some of them may be too hot!

I used Jalapeno Master, bigger than usual Jalapeno, but you can use any Jalapeno-like chili.

Jalapeno Snacks

nachos
Jalapenos
oaxaca cheese (or greek feta)

Stem the peppers, cut in a half and remove the seeds.
Put some nachos on a baking pan and put half Jalapeno stuffed with a small piece of oaxaca cheese.
Grill-bake 5 minutes and serve immediately.
