Best 6 Poblanos Stuffed With Corn And Cheese Recipes

STUFFED POBLANOS WITH ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast until they begin to brown and soften, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the corn on another baking sheet, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Roast until slightly golden, 15 minutes; turn, add the scallions and roast 15 more minutes. Let cool.
• Cut a 2-inch slit lengthwise into each pepper, remove the seeds and open the peppers slightly. (Peel the skin, if desired.)
• Remove the corn kernels from the cob; add to a bowl along with the scallions, then scrape in the milk from the cobs using the back of a knife. Stir in the crema, cilantro, and the lime zest and juice. Season with salt.
• Spoon the corn mixture into the peppers. Sprinkle the filling with cotija cheese. Return the peppers to the oven and bake until the cheese is slightly golden, about 8 minutes.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds and membrane. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until softened.
• While the peppers are baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the ground beef and spices, cooking and breaking up with a spoon until the meat is cooked through and browned.
• Add the cooked rice, beans, corn and half of the cheese. Stir well, then divide evenly between the roasted poblano pepper halves. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake for 10 minutes until heated all the way through and the cheese is melted on top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.

POBLANO CHILES STUFFED WITH CORN AND MONTEREY JACK CHEESE

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and beer in a bowl. Refrigerate batter 1 hour (it will puff while chilling).
• Place chiles directly over the flame of gas-stove burners on high heat. Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are charred and blistered. (Alternatively, broil chiles on a baking sheet, turning often, until skin is charred, taking care not to overcook. Otherwise, they will be difficult to peel, and flesh may be too soft to stuff.) When chiles are cool enough to handle, slip skins off.
• Leaving stem intact, cut a slit into the side of each chile. Remove seedpod, then insert a stick of cheese.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add corn; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 cup of corn mixture into each chile, and close up with a toothpick.
• Heat 1 inch oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Dip chiles in batter, and fry in batches (do not crowd skillet) until golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

CORN-STUFFED POBLANO CHILES

Steps:

• Roast poblanos directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner or under a broiler, turning often with tongs, until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins, being careful not to tear flesh. Cut a slit down the side of each poblano from stem to tip. Remove seeds, leaving stem intact.
• Meanwhile, place chicken and garlic in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer until chicken has cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large bowl, reserving cooking liquid and garlic. Cover chicken loosely with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Let cool slightly, then shred it into 1/2-inch pieces, and cover.
• Add tomatillos to reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and puree tomatillos and garlic in a blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and puree. Spread half the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add corn, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Toss corn with chicken, remaining sauce, half the goat cheese, and the pepper. Mound 1/2 cup mixture into each poblano. Place in prepared dish, dot with remaining goat cheese, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover, and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover, and let stand 5 minutes. Drizzle with sauce from dish, and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

CORN AND CHEESE-STUFFED CREPES WITH POBLANO CREAM

Steps:

• Grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish with butter. Set aside.
• For the crepe batter: Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes to allow any bubbles to settle.

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced and the cream coats back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Cool mixture slightly then transfer to blender and process until smooth. Season the poblano sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Return the sauce to the same skillet and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Heat a 10-inch-diameter non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with oil (or spray with non-stick cooking spray). Add scant 1/4 cupful batter to the skillet; tilt to coat the bottom of the pan with an even layer of batter. Cook for about 30 to 45 seconds until golden on the bottom, adjusting the heat, as necessary, to prevent burning, Using a spatula, turn the crepe over and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Stuff each crepe with 1/4 cup of grated cheese and transfer to the prepared backing dish, fitting them snugly into dish. Cove the pan with foil and bake until cheese melts, about 15 minutes.
• To serve: Arrange the crepes on a platter and pout the sauce on top. Garnish with corn kernels, Mexican crema and chopped cilantro.

STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

• 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.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• 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.
