Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the red bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped chorizo sausage and cook until browned. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the cooked black beans, diced tomatoes, cumin, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet and mix everything together.
Stuff each red bell pepper with the chorizo and bean mixture, packing it tightly.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, and cover it with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of each pepper, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
