Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 1 cup cooked rice (use your favorite kind!)
  • 8 oz chorizo sausage (or a meat of your choice)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack, please)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (drained, of course)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (because fancy)

Instructions:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). We want it nice and toasty for our glorious peppers!
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions and garlic until they’re soft and fragrant. This is the moment when your kitchen starts smelling like heaven!
  3. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook until it’s browned and crumbly. Don’t forget to dance with joy, you’ve just made a magic mix!
  4. In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed chorizo, diced tomatoes, cumin, and half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper like the boss you are!
  5. Now, let’s prepare our poblanos. Cut a slit down the side of each pepper and gently remove the seeds. You want them to be empty vessels of deliciousness!
  6. Stuff those poblanos graciously with your yummy filling. It’s okay if they’re overflowing – more is more!
  7. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Because who doesn’t love extra cheese?
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly!
  9. Take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and voila! You have just created edible masterpieces!

These Mexican Stuffed Peppers are not just a feast for the eyes, but they’ll also make your tummy do a happy dance. Enjoy the adventure of cooking, and remember: there’s no such thing as too much cheese!
