I switch up what I stuff the peppers with and use chicken, corn, red bell pepper, and onions instead. And season the way I want. Most recipes are more of a guide or idea. The seasonings I ended up using are ancho chili powder, chicken soup base, cumin, taco season, onion powder and garlic powder. It turned out great!
Ingredients:
- 3 poblano peppers
- 8 oz of muenster cheese, cut in thick sticks
- 12 large shrimp, chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped onion
- 2 tbsp chopped tomato
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- 1. Place the poblanos on a griddle or skillet on high heat. Roast them, turning until they are blackened on all sides, about 20 minutes. (If you have a gas stove, roasting them over the open flame works better) They should look like this:
- Wrap the peppers in a napkin and place them in a plastic ziploc bag for 10 minutes to steam
- Take the peppers out of the bag and napkin and peel all the charred skin off. Rinse them under cold water. There will be a little bit of skin left and that's ok.
- Cut a slit in the pepper from the stem to the tip and remove the seeds with a spoon. (Rinse) Set aside.
- In a small pan on the stove add olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until soft and tender.
- Add tomato, cilantro and shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about 4 minutes then add tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer on low for 2 minutes until heated through.
- Stuff peppers with cheese sticks and top with shrimp mixture. (We shredded the Munster)
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
