Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium fresh poblano peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 thin slices shredded Cheddar cheese
slice shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (15 ounce) can enchilada sauce (such as Hatch®)
aluminum foil
¼ cup grated Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Turn a gas stove burner to high. Hold poblano peppers directly on the flame with a pair of tongs and turn until skins are charred. Let peppers cool. Leaving peppers as close to whole as possible, remove skins, seeds, membranes, and stems.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in chili pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place peppers in a nonstick casserole dish. Insert a slice of Cheddar cheese and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese into each pepper. Spoon some ground beef mixture into each pepper. Place the remaining beef on top of the peppers, and cover with enchilada sauce. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese on top of the peppers. Bake until peppers are bubbly and fragrant, another 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for large, firm peppers with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have soft spots.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them directly over a gas burner or under a broiler until the skin is blackened. Then, place the peppers in a paper bag or covered bowl to steam for 10 minutes. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin.
  • Make the filling ahead of time: The Mexican rice filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great meal prep option.
  • Use good quality Mexican rice: Mexican rice is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a brand that is made with long-grain rice and has a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Serve the poblano peppers immediately: Stuffed poblano peppers are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the peppers are still hot and the filling is still flavorful.

Conclusion:

Mexican rice stuffed poblano peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. With their smoky flavor, hearty filling, and colorful appearance, these peppers are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting Mexican dish to try, give these stuffed poblano peppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
