Steps

    To mix the chorizo, place ground pork, chili powder, paprika, oregano, ground cumin, salt, and minced garlic in a small bowl and mix just until combined being careful not to overwork. Set aside.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cilantro. Mix with the paddle attachment until well combined.

    Spoon cheese mixture into each jalapeño half then cut in half again. Take 1/4 cup of chorizo and flatten it into a 1/4 inch thick disk. Place the cheese-stuffed jalapeño in the center and wrap the sausage around the jalapeño forming it into an egg shape. Repeat with remaining jalapeños. Season chorizo balls with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.
