I'm a fan of the classic deep-fried cheese-stuffed Chile rellanos they have at Mexican restaurants. Here is a healthier, heartier version. Sure to please the whole family. Change up the filling ingredient to suit your family's tastes.

Ingredients
  • 4 poblano peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ lbs ground chuck
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 ears of corn, kernels removed
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper - optional
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup Monterrey jack cheese, shredded

Directions
  1. Roast and peel the poblano peppers, if desired. Cut a slit in the pepper leaving the top intact, and remove all the seeds and ribs.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375. Heat oil in a skillet and brown the chuck, remove from the pan and pour out all but 2 tbsp of the grease. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes; then add the garlic, bell pepper, corn kernels, and the tomato. Cook for 5-7 minutes, and then add back the chuck. Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using); season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon the filling into the peppers and evenly sprinkle the cheese over all. Place in a baking dish, and bake for 25-30 minutes, until everything is tender and the cheese is melted.
