We decided to fill these Burrito Bowl Stuffed Peppers with Vigo Cilantro Lime Rice, spicy chorizo, corn, pico de gallo, and Monterey Jack cheese. Bryan was in the mood for something with a little spice which is why we went with chorizo for this recipe. I don’t find the meal super spicy though as the rice and cheese definitely help to balance out the spices from the meat. However, if you don’t want chorizo, you can easily substitute out for your meat of choice – ground turkey, shredded chicken, etc. Love Chipotle but don’t always want to spend the money?

    They have a lot of rice varieties that would be great incorporated into other dishes, but I think I am most interested in the olive oil. Not all olive oil is created equally, and they are a high quality brand, and I bet they make a high quality oil.
