Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers with Oaxaca Cheese Recipe
If you like bold flavors and crave a little heat in your appetizers, then you're in for a treat! Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers with Oaxaca Cheese are the ultimate fusion of spicy, cheesy goodness.
Ingredients
- 12 jalapeño peppers
- ½ pound chorizo sausage casings removed
- 8 ounces Oaxaca cheese cut into one-half inch bars
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon Mexican crema or sour cream for serving
- 2 limes sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the jalapeño peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes, creating little jalapeño boats. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from the heat of the peppers.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Drain on paper towels.
- Fill each jalapeño half with a piece of cheese and chorizo, pressing it in firmly.
- Place the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the poppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve your chorizo stuffed jalapeño poppers with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of Mexican cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
