Ingredients
  

2 cups snap peas, ends trimmed

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Zest of 1 lime

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 extra lime for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

    Stuff the Snap Peas: Taking one snap pea at a time, gently open each pod and use a small spoon or piping bag to fill it with the cheese mixture. Ensure not to overstuff them; just enough to fill comfortably.

      Arrange and Chill: Place the stuffed snap peas on a serving platter. Once they're all filled, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for added flavor and color.

        Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cream cheese to firm up a bit.

          Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, cut an extra lime into wedges. Serve the Snap Pea Poppers chilled with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!
