Steps:
- Heat grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the poblano peppers about 10-15 minutes, flipping often, until skins are blackened and charred. Set them into a plastic bag and seal, allowing them to steam and cool.
- Once cooled, peel away the charred skins. They should come away easily. You do not have to achieve a perfect peel.
- Slit each poblano pepper from stem to tip and scoop out the innards.
- Stuff each poblano pepper with 1.5 ounces each of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
- Set back onto the grill over indirect heat and cook about 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melted.
- Serve!

GRILLED STUFFED POBLANOS
Steps:
- On a preheated grill roast your poblanos for about 10 minutes or until the skins begin to blister and char. Place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 5 minutes. In a medium skillet add the butter and saute the onion and red bell pepper until soft for about 5 minutes. Once cooked place into a medium bowl. In the same cleaned skillet toast the pepita seeds for about 3 minutes. Place into bowl with onions, peppers, diced tomato, cooked rice, salt, pepper and cilantro. Mix well. Carefully remove skins from poblanos. With a paring knife or your fingernail (the poblano with be tender), make a slit in the poblano from bottom to top. Pull and discard the seeds and inner membranes, being careful not to tear the rest of the poblano. With a spoon stuff poblanos with rice mixture. Top with cheese. Cover a section of the grill with foil and place the poblanos back on the grill for about 5 to 10 minutes until cheese melts. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
- Boil 2 cups salted water. Add rice, cover and lower heat. Cook for about 15 minutes. Fluff with fork when done.

I love southwest-inspired cuisine, but the dishes are often unhealthy. As a dietitian, I try to come up with nutritious twists on recipes, which is how these stuffed peppers were born. -Amber Massey, Coppell, Texas
