Best Stuffed Poblano Peppers In A Chipotle Sauce Recipes

STUFFED SOUTHWESTERN POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place cut poblano peppers into a greased baking dish, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the peppers. Roast in oven for 10-15 minutes until they begin to soften. Remove from oven and set aside. Once removed, lower the heat to 375 F.
• While peppers are roasting, in a large dutch oven or high walled skillet. Add the ground beef over medium high heat. Add in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook the beef fully through. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked ground beef and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium, add in the 2 tbsp of olive oil, the diced onion, and diced poblano peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion and pepper begin to soften. Add the ground beef, corn, black beans, and chipotles in adobo sauce. Stir all the contents and cook for 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld. Give the mixture a taste, adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Using a spoon, carefully spoon the beef stuffing into the peppers. Top with the shredded Mexican cheese, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove foil. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese and freshly chopped cilantro.

STUFFED POBLANOS IN CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, rub poblanos with 2 teaspoons oil. Roast until slightly blackened and softened, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, remove skins with paper towels. Use a paring knife to make a small slit in each chile, then carefully remove seeds (and discard), keeping stem end intact.
• In a blender, combine chipotle, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup water; season with pepper. Blend until smooth. Add cilantro, and pulse once to combine.
• In a small saucepan, bring 2/3 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa; return to a boil. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender but still chewy and has absorbed all liquid, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add corn and beans, and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and the quinoa.
• Spread chipotle mixture evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stuff peppers with filling, dividing evenly, and arrange in dish; dot with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool in pan 10 minutes before serving.
