Corn & Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • Stuffing:
  • 6 ounces Mexican chorizo sausage
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (11-ounce) can extrasweet whole-kernel corn, drained
  • 2 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Remaining ingredients:
  • 2 (1-ounce) slices white bread
  • 24 stuffer mushroom caps (or large mushrooms with stems removed)
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

To prepare stuffing, remove casings from chorizo. Cook chorizo, onion, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain chorizo mixture; pat dry with paper towels. Combine chorizo mixture and corn in a bowl. Combine cream cheese and sour cream in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until smooth. Add cheese mixture and salt to chorizo mixture.

Place white bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until fine crumbs measure 1 cup.

Fill each mushroom cap with about 3/4 teaspoon breadcrumbs. Stuff each with 2 teaspoons corn mixture; top with remaining breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat each mushroom with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until tops are browned.
