An enduring crowd-pleaser, these zesty two-bite nibbles are a staple of game days, a hunting lodge classic, and a cocktail party favorite. Instead of being stuffed with cream cheese and swaddled in bacon, this protein-packed rendition gets stuffed with lightly spiced black beans and finished with a deliciously creamy lime drizzle. If you’re afraid of the heat from the jalapenos, swap in colorful baby bell peppers or fresh banana peppers instead. Add a few fresh cilantro leaves to the scattering of chopped scallions to garnish along with a few lime wedges.

To make topping, combine yogurt, lime zest and juice, and salt in a bowl; keep chilled until ready to use.

Stir in cumin, chili powder, and salt; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 2-3 minutes to heat through (add more water if necessary). Stir in cilantro; keep warm.
