Cheese-Stuffed Anaheim Peppers image

I found this delicious appetizer on another recipe site as I was looking for a way to use up the abundance of anaheim peppers I have growing in my garden. I brought this to a friend's house and it was a big hit. We used serrano peppers for the red and green hot chili peppers called for in the recipe and cilantro for the fresh herb. We served atop baked pita chips. Prep time includes time to chill in fridge.
