- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- Zest, then juice lime into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Cut hot peppers in half lengthwise, then remove cores and seeds to make bowl shapes (keep the stems on).
- Arrange hot peppers on an unlined baking sheet, cut-sides down.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until slightly tender, 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, add tomato sauce base, chicken stock concentrate and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pan with the meat.
- Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender and sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Set aside.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully remove hot peppers from the oven and flip, cut-sides up.
- Divide chorizo mixture between hot pepper halves, then sprinkle cheese over top.
- Return stuffed hot peppers to the middle of the oven and broil until cheese melts, 1-2 min.
