Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Peppers
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the poblano peppers on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin and make a small slit on one side of each pepper to remove the seeds.

Stuff the Peppers
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the cheese mixture.
