Ingredients
 12 jalapeño, hatch, or other hollow green chilies

 ½ cup bread crumbs
Directions
1

Preheat air fryer to 325°F for 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cheeses, green onion and seasonings; mix well.

Spoon cheese mixture into each pepper half, then roll in bread crumbs

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, and add the peppers in a single layer to the basket.
