Bell Peppers Stuffed With Chorizo And Cheese Food

CHORIZO STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F and add 1/4″ water to the bottom of a 9 x 13″ baking dish or similar sized casserole dish. Place the open bell peppers, arranged side by side, into the baking dish.
• In a large pan on the stove, over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and then add the diced onion, cooking for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the chorizo, and cook until the meat has browned. Drain any excess oil, if there is any.
• Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning and chili powder. Add the black beans, cooked rice, and 1 cup of the cheese. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
• Fill the peppers to the top with stuffing, about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup. You may have leftover stuffing! Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and remove the foil, sprinkling the remaining cup of shredded cheese over the tops of the peppers. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the peppers are fork tender. Place the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to turn the cheese to a golden brown. Serve immediately, with avocado, cilantro and sour cream (optional).

CHORIZO STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Add the chorizo to a skillet and sauté over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove it from the heat.
• Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to the skillet, along with the diced tomatoes (with juices), cooked rice, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
• Add half of the cheese and half of the green onion to the chorizo mixture, then stir to combine.
• Slice each of the bell peppers in half and then carefully remove the white ribs and seed pods, keeping the stem intact to help hold in the stuffing. Pile the chorizo and rice mixture into each pepper, making sure to stuff it up into all the crevices, and mound it up over top. Place the peppers in a casserole dish as you fill them.
• Once all the peppers are filled, add about 1/2 inch of water to the dish to help the peppers steam and soften. Cover the dish tightly with foil, then bake for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the foil and top the peppers with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on the edges. Top the peppers with the remaining sliced green onion just before serving.

MEXICAN STUFFED PEPPERS (CHORIZO-STUFFED POBLANOS), R-R-R-REMIX

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the peppers on top. Roast them under the broiler until the skin becomes blackened and bubbly, turning every few minutes to char evenly, about 8-10 minutes. After the peppers have roasted, carefully transfer them to a large bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the peppers sit for 20 minutes to cool.
• While you wait for the peppers to cool, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chorizo for about 5 minutes, gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the onions, black beans, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Then, mix in the tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add rice, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, cotija cheese, and 1/2 cup of the jack cheese to the bowl with the meat mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Carefully peel the skins off of the roasted peppers, and then slice the peppers lengthwise on one side to create a slit. Gently remove the seeds, and then spoon the mixture into the cavities of the split poblanos and place them on a baking sheet, split side up. Pull the pepper up around the filling and press gently to help it keep its shape. If necessary, use a toothpick to hold the peppers together near the bottom. Top with remaining cheese.
• Put peppers back under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted. Sprinkle with additional cilantro and serve.

• While the peppers are baking, chop the reserved tops into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute, then add the chorizo.
• Sauté the sausage until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up any large chunks of meat as it cooks. Add the chopped bell pepper along with the jalapeño. Combine well and continue cooking until the bell pepper is tender, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
• Remove from the heat, add the rice and combine well. Add the Monterey Jack and cilantro, mix again, then taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• Divide the filling between the par-cooked peppers and bake for 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is piping hot.
