9. Stuffed Poblano Peppers


Ingredients:
2 poblano peppers, sliced lengthwise (seeds discarded)
1 cup uncooked brown rice
14.5 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen or canned corn
1 cup fresh salsa
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
cilantro sprigs for garnish
1 lime
pinch of salt and pepper
Directions:
Cook the rice. Set oven to broil. Place the peppers skin side down on a rimmed baking sheet and broil 5 minutes, to start the softening. Remove from heat. Adjust oven to 400.
In a large bowl combine the cooked rice, black beans, salsa, corn, scallions, cumin, chili powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook in microwave for 1 minute. Stuff the filling into each pepper half.
Sprinkle the cheese over each pepper. Slice back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. If the cheese isn’t as bubbly as you like, flip it back to broil for 2 more minutes.
Serve garnished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
(Leftovers make good lunch tacos)
Serves 2.
