Ingredients
  

  • - 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • - ¾ pound bulk chorizo sausage
  • - ½ cup cooked rice
  • - ¼ cup diced onion
  • - ¼ cup taco sauce
  • - ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • - 2 poblano peppers halved lengthwise and seeded
  • - 2 tablespoons taco sauce or to taste
  • - ¼ cup water

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Casserole dish or pie pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo until completely browned and broken into small pieces, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. Remove skillet from heat; stir in cooked rice, diced onion, 1/4 cup taco sauce, shredded Cheddar cheese, and ground cumin until evenly mixed.
  4. Fill poblano pepper halves with the chorizo mixture and place them in a small casserole dish or pie pan.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of taco sauce over each pepper. Pour water into the bottom of the dish.
  6. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

Notes

- Adjust the level of spice by using mild or spicy chorizo sausage and taco sauce according to your preference.
- Feel free to customize the filling with additional ingredients such as black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers.
- Serve the stuffed peppers with toppings like sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
