Grill It Up~ Grilled Stuffed Poblano Peppers

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small red onion, minced
• 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 2/3 pound raw Mexican chorizo, removed from casings
• 1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
• 1/2 can of rotel, slightly drained
• 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/3 cup Chobani plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 grated cotija cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add in onion and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in chorizo, breaking sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Add rice, rotel, yogurt, cilantro, and cotija cheese to bowl with meat mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon mixture into cavities of split poblanos and top with pepper jack cheese.

Place peppers on your heated grill over low-medium heat and grill for 20-30 minutes or until they have softened. Remove and serve.

We served this with a side of fresh gucamole. It was delicious meal! Another great idea to make this a vegetarian meal is to sub black beans for the chorizo! I can not wait to do that variation!
