Steps:
- Preheat broiler to high. Place peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet and place under the broiler (approximately 6 inches from the element). Roast the peppers until blackened and blistered, turning once after approximately 7-8 minutes. Roast another 4-5 minutes. (If not totally charred, don't worry as you want some texture left.)
- Immediately cover with another rimmed baking sheet, aluminum foil or place in a covered container and let cool.
- Peel as much of the skin away as you can. Carefully cut each pepper on one side from tip to stem and remove the seeds. Set aside until needed.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium and cook the onion until beginning to soften, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the chorizo, breaking it up into small pieces and brown it until no longer raw. Add half the garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer chorizo mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve fat in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Combine remaining garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander and oregano in the pan. Stir over medium-low heat for approximately 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add tomato sauce, water you rinsed the can out with and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-4 minutes just to combine the flavors. Taste the sauce and add additional brown sugar if too acidic. Remove from heat.
- Chop one of the Poblanos if they're large or two if they're smaller (whichever one/ones is/are the least pretty).
- Combine the chopped Poblano, chorizo mixture, rice, 1/2 cup of the sauce, half of the cheese and the egg in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by brushing it with oil or spraying with cooking spray.
- Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish.
- Fill each pepper with equal amounts of the filling and place in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the peppers and top with remaining cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking another 10-12 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

SPICY CHORIZO STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH CHEESE
Fresh whole Poblano peppers blanched and stuffed with a spicy chorizo sausage, rice, and vegetable filling, covered in enchilada sauce and cheese and baked. Serve with refried beans and sour cream on the side... and you've got an explosion of flavor! I created this recipe after my husband planted jalapenos and harvested Poblanos... the seed company had labeled them wrong! A fortunate mistake in my opinion as these peppers are so delicious and this recipe really highlights their unique smoky flavor!

Steps:
- *If you can't find a package of ground Chorizo sausage, buy them whole and remove the casings before cooking.
- In a large pan on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Put the ground Chorizo in the pan, and break it all up so it can cook evenly. Stir occasionally and continue cooking as you work on the ingredients.
- Meanwhile, start a large pot of salted water to boil.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, start preparing your Poblano peppers. Slice the tops off of the pepper, and scoop out the inner seeds. Discard the seeds, but save the tops of the peppers.
- Add the Poblano peppers to the boiling water, and set up an ice bath ready on the side. After about 8 minutes, plunge them in the ice water.
- Start another pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Take the reserved tops of the Poblano peppers and trim off the stem and inedible parts. Mince the remaining pepper.
- Add the pepper and chopped onion to the pan. Saute a few minutes, then add the chopped red bell pepper. Saute for a few minutes longer.
- Next, add the rice, and mix all together. Stir in the tomato paste and water.
- Add the cooked Chorizo sausage and stir well.
- Season with salt and pepper or seasoning salt to your liking. Finish with a squeeze of half of lime.
- Remove the peppers from the ice bath and shake off excess water. Have a 13 x 9 pan ready, and begin stuffing each pepper with the mixture. Lay the stuffed peppers in the pan.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over all the peppers, allowing excess to drip into the pan.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tops of the peppers.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Serve with extra enchilada sauce, refried beans, and sour cream.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are dark green, firm, and have smooth skin.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Roast the peppers until the skin is blackened and blistered. This will make them easier to peel and remove the seeds.
- Make sure the filling is cooked through: Cook the chorizo, rice, and other ingredients in the filling until they are heated through. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Stuff the peppers carefully: Be careful not to overstuff the peppers, or they will burst open during cooking. You should be able to fit about 1/2 cup of filling into each pepper.
- Bake the peppers until they are tender: Bake the peppers in a preheated oven until they are tender and heated through. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the peppers immediately: The peppers are best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish them with chopped cilantro or salsa before serving.
Conclusion:
Chorizo and rice stuffed poblano peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
