Chorizo and Rice-Stuffed Poblano Peppers

1 . Stage

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

2 . Stage

Add tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, adobo, basil, and cilantro to the skillet with the chorizo. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add rice and simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat, add fresh parsley, and let rest.

3 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

4 . Stage

Stuff each poblano pepper half with the chorizo mixture; lay in the baking dish. Add water to the bottom of the dish. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.

5 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender but still firm, about 1 hour. Remove foil and sprinkle peppers with Cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper Jack cheeses.

6 . Stage

Turn on the broiler; broil peppers until cheese is brown and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
