Ingredients

  • 2 bags Success® Brown Rice
  • 8 poblano peppers
  • 3 cups Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded and divided
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa verde
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh corn, cut off the cob
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Step 1 

    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare rice according to package directions. 

    Step 2 

    Place the poblanos under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered, about 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. This will make peeling easier. 

    Step 3 

    While the peppers are steaming, spread the corn on a sheet pan and broil for 5 minutes or until the kernels start to brown. Set aside to cool. 

    Step 4 

    Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skins, cut a slit lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. 

    Step 5 

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, 2 1/4 cups cheese, salsa verde, black beans, corn, cumin, and cilantro. Mix until well combined. Carefully stuff each poblano with the rice mixture and place them in a greased ovenproof dish. 

    Step 6 

    Top the peppers with the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 

    Step 7 

    Garnish the peppers with pico de gallo and avocado before serving.
