Ingredients
Scale
4 large poblano peppers
1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the poblano peppers and remove the seeds. Place them in a baking dish.
Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.
Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, cooked black beans, and cooked rice. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Carefully spoon the meat mixture into each poblano pepper, packing it tightly. Top each pepper with shredded cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
