Poblanos stuffed with chorizo image

We love Mexican food, it's my sweeties favorite, so thought this might be a good way to get him to eat more veggies and make something he would love too. Note* My friend Nelda suggested rubbing the peppers first with olive oil and baking them for 5 minutes or so unfilled so the peppers get done. Thanks Nelda!
