INGREDIENTS

4
 oz. cream cheese (from 8-oz. pkg.), softened
1
 teaspoon grated lime peel
1
 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1
 tablespoon lime juice
8
 fresh whole jalapeño chiles
1
 (8-oz.) can Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1/4

4
 oz. fresh Parmesan cheese, grated (1 cup)

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, lime peel, cilantro and lime juice until well blended; set aside. Carefully remove stems from chiles; cut each in half lengthwise.* Remove and discard seeds. 2 Unroll dough on cutting board; separate into 8 triangles. From center of longest side to opposite point, cut each triangle in half, making 16 triangles. 3 For each appetizer, spoon 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture into chile half; place chile, cream cheese side down, on dough triangle with point of chile near top point of triangle. Wrap sides of triangle up over chile; pinch to seal. Bring point of triangle down over end of chile to cover; pinch to seal. 4 In separate shallow dishes, place melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Dip each dough-wrapped chile into butter; roll in cheese to coat. Place on sprayed cookie sheet. 5 Bake at 375°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
*Handle jalapeño chiles carefully, as their oil can cause burning. If possible, use food-safe plastic gloves when working with the chiles.
