10 small sweet peppers (about 4 inches long), halved lengthwise and seeds removed
extra-virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
2 links fresh chorizo, casing removed
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese, plus more for the end
juice of 1 lime

1
Heat oven to 375u00b0F. Arrange peppers on a large baking sheet. Drizzle peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until softened and charred at the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, bring a skillet to medium- high heat. Saute the crumbled chorizo until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a bowl or plate. Add the shallot to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir the chorizo back in and take it off the heat.
3
In a medium bowl, toss together the quinoa, chorizo mixture, cilantro, cotija cheese, and fresh lime juice. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
4
Use a small spoon to stuff the peppers with the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle with extra cheese. Pop the baking sheet back into the oven under the broiler setting for a minute or so, just long enough to slightly melt or brown the cheese. Serve.
