Cheesy Taco Jalapeño Poppers With Cilantro-Lime Crema

• 16 jalapeno chiles
• 1/2 pound 97% lean, 3% fat ground beef
• 1 (8-oz.) pouch taco skillet sauce (such as Frontera)
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
• 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
• 4 ounces Colby-Jack cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
• canola oil
• 1 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
• 3/4 cup (about 3 1/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup whole buttermilk
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Starting about 1/4-inch from stem, split jalapenos lengthwise, keeping halves intact near stem. Remove seeds with a spoon, and discard. Place jalapenos in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until slightly tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Heat a medium non stick skillet over medium. Add beef, taco sauce, and taco seasoning to hot skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in cream cheese and colby-Jack. Cook, stirring often, until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a large Dutch oven; heat over medium to 350u0b0F.
4. Fill each jalapeno with about 1/2 tablespoon of the beef mixture (or enough to fill jalapeno); secure ends together with a wooden pick.
5. Stir together cornmeal, flour, kosher salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Stir together buttermilk, whole milk, and egg in a small bowl. Whisk buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture until just combined.
6. Submerge 5 or 6 filled jalapenos in cornmeal mixture, and carefully place in hot oil. Fry jalapenos until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Adjust heat to maintain 350u0b0F while frying.) Place on a wire rack, and immediately sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with remaining filled jalapenos. Serve with
