Mexican Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the poblano peppers on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, peel off the skins, make a lengthwise slit, and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked quinoa, 1 cup black beans, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully stuff the prepared poblano peppers with the quinoa and vegetable mixture, pressing gently to fill the peppers evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed poblano peppers in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the peppers are slightly charred and the filling is heated through.
- Serve the Mexican stuffed poblano peppers hot, garnished with additional cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or salsa, if desired. Enjoy!
