Lime zest, garlic, and scallions uplift the savory filling with a touch of brightness, too.
If you cant find Cotija, crumbled feta is a great substitute.

Use a sharp paring knife to remove seeds and membranes; discard.
Arrange jalapenos, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bake until golden brown and set, 18 to 22 minutes.
If desired, broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve with ranch dressing, if using.
To make in an air fryer: Cook filled jalapenos at 375F until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
