Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 pound Mexican-style chorizo
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 cup short-grain rice
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
4 large, fresh poblano chiles
1 pound shrimp, shelled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup Cheddar, shredded
3/4 cup Jack cheese, shredded

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat oil and chorizo, cook for 3 minutes. Add peppers, jalapeno, onions and garlic. Cook until translucent, then add rice and cook until all the grains of the rice are coated with oil. Add all liquids and stir over high heat for 3 minutes, cover and reduce heat to low. Check rice for doneness after 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place poblano chiles on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cool, cut top 1/4 of chile off and remove ribs and seeds.

When rice is finished cooking, fluff with fork and stir in shrimp. Stuff chiles with 1/6 of the rice mixture. Place all the chiles on baking sheet and place into oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, mix cheeses together and cover pepper with cheese. Broil for 3 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.

MMMuy Bueno
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the second time I made this recipe. I have been a huge critic of chili rellenos, nobody made them better than my... grandmother, but this was a nice twist on an old favorite. I did change it up a bit, I cooked the rice alone and then combined it together with the sauted peppers and Chorizo just before I stuffed the pepper. That did the trick, much more flavorful. Muy Bueno. Thanks Guy. Read more

A Do-Over!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this using peppers from my garden. I was curious how the peppers would turn out baked since I always steam my stuffed... peppers, but it worked out perfect and I will always bake my peppers from now on. The only change I made was to use pepper jack cheese. I also had leftover stuffing but I used it in tortillas for leftovers. A really nice twist on stuffed peppers.Read more

Fresh picked home grown poblanos find excellence!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Was a show fan, but now a believer! Harvested my home grown crop of poblanos from my old hot tub "Victory Garden" this week,... and went looking for a good recipe on Food Network. I love chile rellenos, but the chorizo and shrimp sold me. Used everything the recipe called for, and added some scallops we had on hand. Excellent! Salute, Bob from ArizonaRead more

Chorizo Heaven!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this dish...my husband and I are actually arguing about who gets the leftovers tomorrow! That never happens. I made a... few changes that seemed to work. I used a full pound of chorizo and substituted short-grain for Arborio rice. We topped it with sour cream and sandwiched it in between broken pieces of hard taco shells (because I didn't have soft shell). Next time we will use soft shells. I only bought 4 poblanos because that is what the ingredient list says even though it should say 6. So I had extra stuffing that I put in a casserole dish and baked with the poblanos. Worked out really well, actually. We will be making this one again soon! Thanks, Guy!Read more
