Ingredients:
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 pound ground beef (or your choice of protein)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Start by preparing the poblano peppers. Carefully slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. If you want some extra heat, you can leave some of the seeds in!
- In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked through.
- Mix in the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir until everything is combined and heated through. Taste to adjust seasoning if needed.
- Take each poblano half and stuff it generously with the meat and rice mixture. Top each pepper with shredded cheese.
- Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. If you have leftover filling, feel free to add it to the dish around the peppers!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, if you like. Serve hot, and watch them disappear!
