Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pork chorizo
  • 4 poblano peppers
  • 2 cups cauliflower riced
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Cut each pepper in half lengthwise, giving you 8 poblano halves. Add the peppers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes.
  2. While the peppers are baking, add the chorizo to a skillet. Cook until browned, then remove and set it aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.
  3. Add in the onion and sauté until tender. Add in the butter, smoked paprika and cumin, then allow the spices to toast for about 20 seconds.
  4. Add in the cauliflower rice and toss to combine, then cook until tender. Add in the cilantro, lime zest, juice and mascarpone cheese.
  5. Once melted, add the chorizo back in and toss to combine. Once the peppers have baked 10 minutes, remove them from the oven and blot them with paper towels to absorb any liquid. Increase the temperature to 425°F and fill each pepper with the chorizo mixture.
  6. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
