Poblanos Stuffed with Chorizo and Chayote
Report
The spicy and flavorful chorizo really gives this dish an added punch. This filling would be lovely as a side dish or as a filling for tacos

Ingredients
- 4 poblano pepper roasted and peeled
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter with canola oil brand Land O Lakes®, plus calcium and vitamin D
- ½ white onion chopped, large
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste or minced
- 2 chayote seeded and chopped
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces pork chorizo Mexican style
- 1 cup queso Oaxaca shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a skillet on medium heat, add Butter with Canola Oil and onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
- Add garlic, chayote, oregano, and salt and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add chorizo and crumble and combine with chayote and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until chorizo is cooked.
- Slice poblano peppers lengthwise, pull out the membranes and seeds being careful not to tear the chiles.
- Arrange poblano peppers in a casserole dish and fill each with the chorizo and chayote mixture.
- Sprinkle with queso Oaxaca and bake until cheese melts, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes
- Chayote is a very unique vegetable, actually it is a fruit, and it has a funny shape. Chayote is mild in flavor and has a texture of a pear and zucchini. I left the skin on, but it can be peeled if preferred.
- Chayote can usually be found in Latin markets, but luckily my local grocery store carries them. Treat chayote as you would zucchini or squash – leave the skin on, chop, and cook.
