Rio Bravo Rice Stuffed Poblanos Recipes

RIO BRAVO RICE-STUFFED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slit each pepper lengthwise so peppers can later be stuffed with rice filling. Carefully remove loose seeds and veins, keeping stem intact. Rub pepper generously with oil and place on baking sheet; set aside.
• Combine rice, sour cream, 1 cup cheese, corn and cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture to stuff each pepper; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, until peppers are crisp-tender and filling is heated through. Garnish with cilantro.

CHORIZO AND RICE-STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

• Stuff each poblano pepper half with the chorizo mixture; lay in the baking dish. Add water to the bottom of the dish. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.

• Turn on the broiler; broil peppers until cheese is brown and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
