And the peppers keep coming in our garden and here I am making more recipes with them. This is one I’ve been wanting to make for quite some time though but I could not find soft chorizo anywhere. Then one day my nephew told me he saw it at Walmart and I ran out and bought some to make these cheesy chorizo stuffed chiles. They turned out great and I only used 5 ingredients!

If you are like me and still have a flowing chile pepper crop coming in, you might want to try my buffalo chicken stuffed peppers or my buffalo blue cheese stuffed peppers. As you can we like just about anything buffalo!

Oh I have to confess I didn’t really make these, my hubby did. I bought the ingredients but he cleaned and stuffed the peppers and I assembled them. I guess it was a combined effort. The filling is chorizo (the soft kind, not the hard-like-salami kind) and Monterey jack cheese. When you’ve stuffed them all, you pour a jar of salsa on top along with some shredded cheddar cheese. Bake until the peppers are cooked which is about 40 -50 minutes.

These would be great for a party or football game. I took them to a labor day party along with my rainbow Mexican corn salad. I hope you like these as much as we did. The nutrition was a bit hard to figure out as it was really hard to find nutrition for Anaheim peppers. So my best estimate on nutrition for 1 pepper is:

161 cals / 10.8g fat / 11.0g carbs / 2g fiber / 9.6g protein = 9g net carbs
