Smoked Mozzarella Chorizo Peppers

• 8 large red peppers (use orange or yellow if preferred)
• Cooking/grilling spray
• salt & pepper
• 8 ounces fresh smoked mozzarella
• 3 ounces thinly sliced chorizo (10 slices: 8 to grill on the peppers and 2 more chopped for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1. Wash, dry and cut peppers in half lengthwise. Carefully remove all stems, seeds and veins. Spray both sides with grilling spray and salt & pepper.
2. Heat grill to 450 degrees.
3. Place peppers on the grill skin side up, close the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn peppers over and grill (lid closed) for 4-5 more minutes.
4. While the peppers are cooking, cut mozzarella into 8 slices - roughly 1/2 inch thick.
5. Add one slice of chorizo, then one slice of mozzarella to each pepper. Close the grill and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
6. Remove from the grill and top with sliced onions, the rest of the chopped chorizo, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
