INGREDIENTS
| For Buffalo Chicken Rangoons: | |
|---|---|
| 19 Oz. | Package smoked chorizo sausage links |
| 6 large | Bell Peppers |
| 1 Tbsp. | Cooking oil (avocado or olive) |
| 2 Tsp. | Salt, divided |
| 1 | Onion, diced (I prefer purple in this recipe) |
| 3 Cloves | Garlic, minced |
| 1 Cup | Cooked rice and quinoa blend (1/2 cup uncooked plus 1 cup water/broth) - I used a blend of jasmine rice and red quinoa I mixed myself. |
| 1 Large | Fresh tomato, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes, drained) |
| 1 Cup | Fresh cilantro, chopped |
| 2 | Fresh jalapeños, sliced |
| 8 Oz. | Shredded cheddar cheese |
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and begin cooking rice-quinoa blend on stovetop.
- Smoke chorizo links in Pit Barrel® (per manufacturer instructions) for 30 minutes or until cooked all the way through. We hung 4 of them in the brat hanging basket and the 5th one we cooked on the grill grate.
- Meanwhile, slice peppers in half and place in a large baking dish.
- Coat both sides of peppers with cooking oil and sprinkle with about 1 tsp of salt on both sides.
- Roast peppers for 15 minutes in oven.
- While peppers are roasting, sauté diced onion until tender.
- Add minced garlic to onions and stir about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Dice fresh tomato, chop cilantro, slice jalapeños, and shred cheese, set aside.
- Once chorizo links are finished cooking, remove from smoker and allow to cool 5-10 minutes.
- Chop chorizo into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In pan with onions and garlic, combine chorizo, rice-quinoa blend, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and 1 tsp salt.
- Tightly pack roasted peppers with filling and top generously with shredded cheese and sliced jalapeños.
- Place peppers on grate in smoker and smoke for 10 minutes to soak up smoke flavor and melt cheese. Remove from smoker and serve!
