Enjoy this lightened-up classic anytime you need a finger-food treat: game day, cocktail parties, or movie nights. It’s best to wear disposable gloves when you prepare the jalapeños; the oils in chile peppers can cause skin irritation. Wash your hands well after removing the gloves, and avoid touching your face for a few hours afterward just in case residue lingers on your fingers.
