Chorizo Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers Food

CHORIZO-STUFFED MINI SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Make a long slit down three-fourths of the length of each pepper, leaving stem attached. Stuff each pepper with 1 slice dried chorizo and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until peppers are blistered and browned on all sides, about 4 minutes, turning peppers frequently. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHORIZO STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS (CAN SUB SWEET PEPPERS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chorizo for 6-8 minutes, gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
• Stir in onions, garlic and corn. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, then add tomato paste, oregano, cilantro and cumin. Stir until well combined.
• Mix in Cotija cheese, then remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Slice poblano peppers lengthwise, keeping the stem intact and remove seeds. Spoon chorizo mixture into peppers and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
• Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Add to the bottom of the pan, 2 tablespoons water. Grease a sheet of foil with oil on the underside. Place foil over baking dish, sealing tightly. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil (beware steam build-up) and continue to bake 15-20 minutes. Serve with dollops of sour cream.

CHORIZO STUFFED REDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the potatoes: Mix the spices in a small bowl. Wash and dry the potatoes. Poke several times around each potato with a fork. Rub evenly with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the spice mixture. Place on a baking pan and bake until cooked through and the skin is crispy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven, halve and, with a small spoon, scoop out the potato, leaving about 1/8-inch of flesh in the skin. Reserve the skins and chop the potato flesh.
• For the filling: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the canola oil. When hot, add the chorizo and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red bell peppers, olives and garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Deglaze the pan with the tequila, cooking until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and reserved potato flesh to combine.
• Place the potato skins in a pie pan or similar baking dish, nesting them against each other. Fill each half with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chorizo mixture, top with the cheese and return to the oven. Cook until cheese is starting to melt and they are heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
