Time 1h6m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise
1 pound ground pork
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup long-grain rice
1 large onion, chopped, divided
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
½ lime, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup frozen roasted corn (such as Trader Joe's®), thawed
¾ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers, cut sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 6 minutes. Wrap peppers in the aluminum foil from the baking sheet. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard skins and seeds. Chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in ground pork, chicken broth, rice, 1/2 the onion, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a boil.
  • Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining onion, tomatoes, lime zest, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon cilantro in a small bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the roasted poblano peppers, remaining cilantro, and corn into the baked pork-rice dish. Sprinkle cheese blend on top; let stand until melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the salsa on top.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice came out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
