Southwest Pepper Jack-Stuffed Poblano Packets
Serve these delicious stuffed poblanos as a meatless option at your next barbecue. They also make a delicious side to grilled chicken!
Ingredients:
- 4 medium poblano peppers
- 8 ounces Pepper Jack Cheese
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
- 4 large kale leaves (rib and stems removed), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 corn tortillas (6 inches)
- 1 cup pico de gallo
Instructions:
|
1. Heat grill to medium-high. |
| 2. Cut a lengthwise slit down each poblano pepper, leaving the stem intact. (Take care when cutting; avoid slicing peppers through to the opposite side.) Remove and discard seeds. |
| 3. Place 1 pepper onto four greased double-thickness pieces of aluminum foil, each about 16 x 12 inches. Combine the pepper jack, black beans, corn and kale in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff a fourth of the pepper jack mixture into each pepper. Fold foil into packets and seal tightly. |
| 4. Grill packets, covered, over medium-high heat for 18-22 minutes or until peppers are tender. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a foil packet and seal tightly; grill for 5 minutes. |
| 5. Remove packets from the grill. Let stand for 5 minutes. Take care when opening the foil; allow the steam to escape. Serve stuffed peppers with tortillas and pico de gallo. |
