Introduce this easy Southwest favorite to your dinner rotation. These roasted peppers stuffed with Tommy’s Fiesta Quinoa and chorizo sausage are topped with fresh avocado and cotija cheese. If your regular grocery store does not stock cotija cheese, we recommend checking your local Hispanic grocery or tortilleria. Pair with black beans and warm corn tortillas for a light and delicious meal.

  • ½ cup Mexican Chorizo (Cooked, Crumbled)
  • ¼ cup Cotija Cheese
  • ¼ cup Scallions, sliced
  • 1 Avocado, sliced

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F.
  2. Cut both bell peppers in half lengthwise and hollow out the insides. Arrange the bell pepper
    halves on a cookie sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine Tommy’s Fiesta Quinoa with the cooked and crumbled Mexican
    chorizo sausage.
  4. Evenly divide the stuffing mixture between the four pepper halves, packing it in firmly.
