Ingredients




8 large red peppers (use orange or yellow peppers if preferred)
Cooking/grilling spray
Salt and pepper
8 ounce ball of fresh smoked mozzarella
2-3 ounces thinly sliced chorizo (10 slices, 8 for recipe and 2 chopped for garnish)
2 green onions, sliced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped

Preparation

1 Wash, dry and cut peppers in half lengthwise. Carefully remove all stems, seeds and veins. Spray both sides with grilling spray and salt & pepper. 2 Heat grill to 450 degrees. 3 Place peppers on the grill skin side up, close the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn peppers over and grill (lid closed) for 4-5 more minutes. 4 While the peppers are cooking, cut mozzarella into 8 slices – roughly ½ inch thick. 5 Add one slice of chorizo, then one slice of mozzarella to each pepper. Close the grill and cook for 2-3 more minutes. 6 Remove from the grill and top with sliced onions, the rest of the chopped chorizo and chopped cilantro. Enjoy! 7 Recipe Notes: You can also bake these peppers in the oven at 450 degrees. Just use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until soft. Add the chorizo and cheese and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until cheese is slightly melted. Garnish and serve.
