Chorizo Stuffed Peppers

I couldn't find a recipe I liked online so I invented my own. :)

Chorizo Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 package mexican chorizo (the crumbly kind)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can rotel tomatoes, drained
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • shredded cheddar

Directions:
  • Place pepper halves in a 9x13 dish with a bit of water.  Cover tightly with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 min.
  • While the peppers soften, saute the onion in a pan in a bit of olive oil.  When it's soft, add the chorizo and saute until it looks delicious.
  • Add beans, drained tomatoes, and cream cheese.  Stir it up until the cream cheese is melted.
  • Take the peppers out of the oven and fill each one with chorizo mixture.  Return to oven without foil and bake for 10-15 min.
  • Remove from oven, top with shredded cheddar, and bake until melted.  Optionally, run under the broiler for a bit of char on top.
