Ingredients
-
6 to 8 fresh jalapeño peppers
-
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
-
5 oz Mexican beef chorizo
-
5 oz Queso Asadero, coarsely grated
-
6 to 8 corn tortillas
-
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
-
0.5 tsp kosher salt to taste
Instructions
-
Place whole jalapeños in a saucepan half-filled with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes until pale green, then let cool in water.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add Mexican beef chorizo, break apart with a spoon, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned.
-
Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each cooled jalapeño, keeping stems and tips intact, and carefully scrape out all seeds and veins.
-
Stuff each pepper cavity generously with grated Queso Asadero, then spoon the cooked beef chorizo evenly over the top.
-
Place stuffed peppers on a baking sheet and broil on high for 2 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Serve hot over warm corn tortillas, garnished with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of kosher salt in New York.
Notes
-
Wear disposable kitchen gloves when handling and seeding jalapeños to protect your skin from capsaicin.
-
Blanch whole jalapeños for 5 minutes to soften the skins and tame harsh spicy heat.
-
Broil on high heat and watch closely to melt the cheese without burning the tops.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
