Chorizo & Quinoa Stuffed Poblano Peppers With Adobo Chile T image

I looked at several recipes to create my own with the ingredients I wanted to use. These came out so well, I thought I would share the recipe. My young boys actually ate this, I made a mild version for them, and my husband loved it. If you like spicy, you will love it with 3-4 chile peppers. Bon Appetit!

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half of the tomato sauce in a large casserole dish. Stuff the peppers with the chorizo/quinoa mixture and arrange them in the casserole dish.
