Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

This recipe is from my dear friend Monica <3

1 lbs chorizo
1 cup quinoa
1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 block of monterey jack cheese
Diced tomatoes (as many or as little as you'd like) - or diced apple (1)
1 cup cilantro
4 Poblano peppers halved & seeded
Sir Kensington Mayo - Chipotle (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)
Guac or avocado (optional)


Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees - then put the peppers on a baking sheet with cooking spray (or oil, etc). Cook until the peppers look soft.
Cook chorizo until almost done all the way thru - add spinach & cilantro and cook down. Then add the quinoa and apples - allow to cook until apples are soft.
When I cook the chorizo, just before it's cooked all the way through, I'll add the spinach into the meat.
In a large bowl mix together all ingredients except peppers - reserving some “sprinkling cheese”
Stuff the peppers as much as you'd like and sprinkle lightly with extra cheese and put in the oven for another 5-10 mins (or broil long enough for the cheese to get melty/bubbly).

Serve hot - add sour cream and/or guac/avocado over the top if desired.
