  • small handful chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Turn heat down to medium and add cream cheese cubes, stirring with a wooden spoon 3-4 minutes until melted.
  • Add 1/4 cup of the keto-friendly BBQ sauce and stir until warm.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Lay jalapeño halves on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.

Notes

*The BBQ sauce I used does have sucralose, which is considered dirty keto. Make sure to find or make a keto-friendly BBQ sauce that fits your dietary needs.
Please wear kitchen gloves when preparing your jalapeños. These peppers contain capsaicin which can irritate your skin.
