Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut the tops off the poblano peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly brush the outside with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the meat of your choice and cook until browned. Stir in the cooked rice and cheese, mixing well.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Fill each poblano pepper with the meat, rice, and cheese mixture, packing it in tightly.

  4. 4

    Grill the Peppers

    Place the stuffed peppers on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, let cool slightly, and serve in flour tortillas. Enjoy!
