Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 5 Serves

Ingredients
  

  • 5 Poblano Peppers
  • 1 Red Onion Minced
  • 1 lb. Chorizo
  • 1 Cup Cooked Rice
  • 15 oz. Black Beans Drained and Rinsed
  • 6 oz. Corn
  • 1 Roma Tomato Diced
  • 3 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
  • 1/3 Cup Cilantro Chopped
  • 1 tsp. Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. Cumin
  • 1/3 Cup sour Cream
  • 1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese Shredded
  • 1/4 Cotija Cheese Grated
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sautee the chorizo for about 5 minutes, gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the onions, black beans, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Then, mix in the tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add rice, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, cotija cheese, and 1/2 cup of the jack cheese to the bowl with the meat mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the poblano peppers lengthwise on one side to create a slit. Gently remove the seeds, and then spoon the mixture into the cavities of the split poblanos and place them on a baking sheet, split side up. Pull the pepper up around the filling and press gently to help it keep its shape. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Put peppers under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted. Sprinkle with additional cilantro and serve.
