INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
STEP 2: Crumble the fresh chorizo into a skillet. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the chorizo is browned, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
STEP 3: While the chorizo cooks, wash your zucchini and chop off the stem ends. Cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the middles, forming the boats. Save the zucchini middles to use in other recipes.
STEP 4: Add the strained tomatoes to the chorizo mixture. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 5: Evenly fill the zucchini boats with the chorizo mixture using a spoon.
STEP 6: Top the filled boats with the pepper jack cheese shreds.
STEP 7: Place the stuffed zucchini boats in a baking dish.
STEP 8: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Use a rack about ⅓ down from the top of the oven. Check for doneness after 20 minutes; the zucchini should be tender, and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
STEP 9: After baking, garnish with chopped cilantro.
