I love the smokey flavor of poblanos, but sweet peppers may be substituted. Adjust the amount of sweet peppers used if very large. Poblanos are smaller. Don't leave off a dollop of sour cream for it mellows the taste. A dish to be ready in 30 minutes for your own fiesta. From Home Made Simple.

Chopped a red pepper and one pablano pepper into to it. I don’t cook onions so left them out. Added garlic infused olive oil to start frying the chorizo in. I can’t eat onions and garlic. Used canned tomato sauce instead of paste. Cooked a Yukon gold potato and chopped it up and added with the cheese. I sprinkled with the shredded cheese when I took the foil off. Delicious.

Followed the recipe other than swapping 3/4 tablespoon dried cilantro for fresh. From ingredient options Cotija & Monterey Jack cheeses, 7 green poblanos (halved) and 1 large red pepper (quartered) were used. These were a huge success! Served with brown rice and black beans. Can't wait to make it again with both/either pepper.
