Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound chorizo sausage
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 small onion, diced
1 small carrot, grated
1 small stalk celery, grated
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 cup cooked long-grain rice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
olive oil cooking spray
4 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
½ cup water
⅛ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
⅛ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅛ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Add tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, adobo, basil, and cilantro to the skillet with the chorizo. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add rice and simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat, add fresh parsley, and let rest.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Stuff each poblano pepper half with the chorizo mixture; lay in the baking dish. Add water to the bottom of the dish. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender but still firm, about 1 hour. Remove foil and sprinkle peppers with Cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper Jack cheeses.
  • Turn on the broiler; broil peppers until cheese is brown and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
