Chorizo-Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers filled with chorizo, cream cheese, and shredded Mexican cheese blend are the perfect game day eats! They're smoky, spicy, creamy and full of bold flavors you'll love in an appetizer!!

Jalapeno Poppers are one of the most popular recipes on the blog and based on our mutual love for these addicting appetizers, I thought I’ll share with you another of my favorite ways to make them, with chorizo stuffing!

I took these Mexican-style jalapeno poppers for a test run yesterday during our Dodger’s game shindig and they were quite the hit! Everyone at the party beelined for them, I had to make another batch in the middle of the game which was 10 innings and 5 hours long, btw.

Mexican-style Jalapeno Poppers filled with crumbled chorizo, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar. They're spicy, creamy, and absolutely addicting!

While our previous stuffed jalapenos are made with crisp bacon, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar, these Chorizo-Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers are filled to the brim with crumbled chorizo, cream cheese, and shredded Mexican cheese blend for spicy, creamy, and boldly flavored appetizers you won’t get be able to get enough of.

They’re bursting with delicious smoky heat you’ll absolutely love with your favorite dipping sauces. We like to enjoy them with the refreshing cilantro-lime dip I included in the recipe instructions below but they’re just as amazing with a simple bottled Ranch dressing or a more elaborate homemade queso dip.

Stuffed Jalapenos with chorizo are easy to make yet absolutely addicting. They're creamy, spicy and bursting with bold flavors!

Tips on How to Make Stuffed Jalapenos with Chorizo:

  • The hardest part of this recipe, if that, is preparing the jalapenos. Please use gloves when deseeding! You may also try this pepper corer (this is an affiliate link) and be done in a breeze!
  • Not unless you want a lot of heat, I recommend using mild chorizo as the poppers can get really spicy when you take into account the heat from the jalapenos.
  • Break up the chorizo while browning but do not over stir or you’ll end up with a paste-like consistency. Make sure to drain well and allow to cool before combining with the cream cheese.

Stuffed Jalapeno peppers are creamy, spicy and seriously addicting. Perfect for game day!

Get these stuffed jalapeno peppers a try for your next game day party. They’re so easy to make yet guaranteed to please the crowd!

      You can substitute the jalapenos with sweet peppers if you want something less spicy 🙂
