I created this Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipe for The Board of Control of Mahón-Menorca Cheese, but all thoughts, opinions, recipes, and photos are my own! Thank you for allowing me to partner with companies to continue to provide you with free content!

This Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipe is SO delicious. Please tell me you’ve been fortunate enough to try Chorizo! It’s like a garlicky, paprika-y bacon-y sausage. Seriously, it’s to die for! Because Mahón-Menorca cheese is from a gorgeous island in Spain, I wanted to incorporate another Spanish ingredient to highlight both of their flavors.

This recipe is super simple, because both the chorizo and the semi-hard Mahón cheese pack a TON of flavor and do most of the work for you! The recipe calls for semi-cured Mahón-Menorca cheese. The crust of this cheese is orange or dun in color with an interior that is a ivory yellow. It is a firm cheese, but still easy to cut. Each piece of cheese has irregularly distributed holes throughout. It has more developed milky taste, with notes of butter and hazelnut (YUM!). You will LOVE it in this recipe!
