Ingredients
Scale
4 large poblano peppers
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
4 large tortillas (flour or corn)
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked chorizo or ground beef (optional)
Black beans or refried beans (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños (optional)
Sliced avocado (special garnish)
Fresh lime wedges (special garnish)
Sour cream or Mexican crema (special garnish)
Pico de gallo or salsa (special garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-30 minutes or until the skin blisters and blackens.
Once roasted, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow them to steam for about 10 minutes. After steaming, peel off the charred skin and make a slit down the side of each pepper. Remove the seeds gently.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add cumin, salt, and pepper, stirring for another minute. Remove from heat and add the shredded cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
Carefully fill each poblano pepper with the cheese and onion mixture. Don’t overstuff; just make sure each one is nicely filled.
On a clean surface, lay a tortilla. Place a stuffed pepper in the center, fold the tortilla over, and press it down gently.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter. Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook until it’s golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Once cooked to your liking, remove from the skillet and let it cool for a moment before slicing into wedges. Top with your favorite garnishes and enjoy!
