Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a fryer with canola oil to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and the chorizo. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until nicely browned. Remove the mixture from the pan to a medium bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in the cheese and mix well. Stuff the jalapenos with the filling, using your fingers or a small spoon.
• In a small bowl beat together the buttermilk and eggs. In a shallow dish add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish add the panko. Dredge the stuffed jalapenos in the flour, then in the buttermilk, and then in the panko. Repeat the last 2 steps, if needed.
• In the same pan the chorizo was cooked in, add the butter. Heat over medium-high heat, then add the corn, lemon juice, salt and pepper, to taste, and the sugar, Stir together and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and allow it to come to a hard boil. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add the corn mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a medium-sized bowl and stir in the sour cream.
• Fry the jalapenos, in batches, until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minute. Arrange them on a serving dish and serve with the sweet corn puree.

Steps:

• Special Equipment: parchment paper
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brown chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place into a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, red onion, egg, cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Press into jalapeno halves and assemble on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Fill each jalapeno pepper half with cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs, respectively, and arrange peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until jalapenos are tender and cheese melts, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a skillet, cook chorizo and onion over medium heat until sausage is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Stir in all remaining ingredients except jalapenos., Cut jalapenos lengthwise in half; remove seeds and membranes. Fill each half with scant 1 tablespoon sausage mixture. Place in greased 15x10x1-in. pans. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 18-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet and saute onion and garlic over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add chorizo and cook for five minutes breaking up meat as it cooks.
• When fully cooked remove skillet from heat. Stir in cream cheese and sour cream. Season to taste with salt.
• Spoon into halved jalapenos and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the peppers in half and remove all the membranes and seeds from each half and set aside.
• Mix the chorizo sausage with the cheddar cheese (you could use turkey chorizo or another spicy sausage in place of chorizo, if you prefer).
• Roll the chorizo and cheese mixture into balls (about ping-pong ball sized) and fill each jalapeno half with sausage before wrapping with a slice or 2 of bacon.
• Stick a toothpick through the bacon and jalapeno to keep the whole thing together.
• I cook these for about 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees on my foreman grill -- or until the peppers are soft and the bacon is crispy. You can also place them on greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven until, again, the peppers are soft and the bacon gets crispy.
