Method

  1. Adjust the oven rack to be about 6 inches away from the heat source and preheat the broiler.

  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  3. Place the peppers on the prepared baking sheet, with the cut sides facing down.

  4. Cook the peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin becomes blackened and blistered, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

  5. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and tightly cover it with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam and cool for approximately 15 minutes.

  6. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  7. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line the bottom with slices of bread.

  8. Cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, which should take around 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a bowl.

  9. In the same pan, heat oil and add the onion. Cook and stir the onion until it becomes tender, which should take about 3 minutes.

  10. Peel the poblanos and slice the flesh. Mix the sliced poblanos with the cooked onion.

  11. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  12. Spread the cooked chorizo over the bread slices in the baking dish. Cover it with the onion-poblano mixture. Pour
