- in a small bowl mix together cheeses, onion, chili, onion, and garlic powders. Knead by hand to combine, and add red onion and cilantro.
- Roll about 1oz of mixture into a ball in your hands, then shape it into a lozenge shape. Place into 1/2 of the jalapeño. Repeat until all pepper halves are filled.
- Place flour and panko onto separate plates. Add 1 Tbs of Magique to the panko, and mix.
- Place oil into a medium saucepan, and heat to medium-hot. When you drop a tiny bit of flour into the oil and it bubbles, the oil is ready.

- Using a slotted spoon, gently place the pepper into the oil to fry, about 2 minutes till golden brown.
