Stuffed Peppers are one of my go-to gluten free meals, whether they’re filled with Buffalo Chicken, Spicy Eggplant, Italian Ground Turkey and Mushrooms or Chorizo, Corn and Black Beans, I love how easy they are to make and toss in the oven, slow cooker or on the grill!

Grilled Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Chorizo, Tomatoes, Black Beans and Corn

How to make them

To make these chorizo stuffed bell peppers, saute onion, jalapeno and garlic with ground chorizo, then toss in some mexicorn, diced tomatoes with green chilies and black beans. Stuff this mixture in bell pepper halves, then toss them on the grill for 30 minutes. About 5 minutes before you pull them off the grill, sprinkle with a little cotija cheese.

These stuffed bell peppers are perfect for meal prep or making ahead. The chorizo, black bean and corn filling can be made ahead of time, then stuffed into the peppers right before cooking, or go ahead and stuff the peppers ahead of time, then grill or bake as many as you want at a time.

Don’t have a grill? Don’t worry, you can also make these stuffed peppers in the oven, by baking them at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
