How to Make Spicy Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers With Cheese
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Blanch the poblano peppers: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the poblanos and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and remove the stems and seeds.
- Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, brown the chorizo over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, corn, and black beans. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Stuff the peppers: Fill each poblano pepper generously with the chorizo and rice mixture.
- Assemble and bake: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Pour the enchilada sauce over the peppers, ensuring they are mostly covered. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
- Serve immediately with refried beans and sour cream.
