Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 1 cup quinoa (or brown rice for a heartier option)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional: cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the tops off the poblano peppers and remove the seeds.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook the quinoa according to package instructions, typically combining 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water and simmering for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant. Add in the corn, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the sautéed vegetable mixture. If using cheese, fold it in at this stage.
  • Spoon the quinoa filling into each poblano pepper, packing them tightly, and place in a baking dish.
  • Bake the stuffed peppers for 30-35 minutes until tender and slightly blistered.
  • In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
