Clean out seeds and set aside. Mix together cream cheese, roasted red peppers, cliantro or parsley, garlic and lime zest. Season to taste with CWG creole blend. Season the inside of halved Jalapenos with CWG Maple BacUn blend, then fill with appx 2 tsp of the cream cheese mixture. Wrap each stuffed Jalapeno with a piece of bacon.
