Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon for a milder flavor. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Mix Filling

    In a bowl, combine the cooked chorizo, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1.5 cups of Chihuahua cheese until evenly mixed.

Filling and Baking

  1. 4

    Stuff the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the chorizo and cheese mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese Topping

    Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of Chihuahua cheese over the stuffed jalapenos.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the jalapenos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with black bean sauce, guacamole, and sour cream.
