Chorizo and beef quinoa stuffed pepper recipe

When I had the idea of making a stuffed pepper recipe, I wanted it to be a one of a kind original. In fact, you are seeing this here first! I had the pleasure of making this recipe purely from an idea, and it just so happened that it turned out crazy delicious.

Chorizo and beef quinoa stuffed pepper recipe

It’s funny how certain things inspire you, and I have always cooked with inspiration. These chorizo, beef, and quinoa stuffed peppers came about when I took a longer than expected trip to the grocery store, and just happened to be craving stuffed peppers. Check out how I created them.

Chorizo and Beef Quinoa Stuffed Pepper Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 bell peppers
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 pound chorizo
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 cup mixed monterrey jack and cheddar cheese
  • green onion tops

The first thing you will want to do is heat the oven to 350, boil the water for the quinoa, and in a separate skillet brown the beef and chorizo together. Drain the meat mixture well, and then place into a medium mixing bowl.

Once your quinoa is fully cooked, add it to the mixing bowl. Add the green onion tops, cumin, cayenne, chili powder, and monterrey jack and cheddar cheese. Mix well.

Cut the tops from your bell peppers and scoop out any remaining seeds.

Then take your meat mixture and start stuffing the bell peppers until they are full. Sprinkle with a little cheese and then bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until the bell pepper has softened. Serve immediately.
