Chicken And Cheese Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Ingredients:

4 large poblano peppers

4 oz cream cheese softened

2 cups pepper jack cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)

1/4 cup diced onion

3 garlic cloves minced

2 cups cooked chicken

1/2 cup corn (I used frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup black beans drained

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Sour cream and salsa if desired for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Rinse and dry peppers. Cut a thin slice off the sides and carefully remove the seeds.

In a large bowl add in all the ingredients and mix until combined.

Divide the filling among the peppers until they are stuffed. Add the remaining cheese on top. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are soft.

Remove from oven let cool slightly and garnish with sour cream and salsa if desired.

Notes:

You can use bell peppers instead of poblano peppers.
