Description

A vibrant, layered explosion of flavor combining traditional chile rellenos in an easy-to-make casserole form.


Ingredients

  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 1 cup corn
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Roast poblano peppers until charred, peel off the skin, and slice open lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, combine rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the mixture from the bowl and place in a baking dish.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until blended.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the stuffed peppers.
  7. Top with shredded cheese and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the egg is set and cheese is golden.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, grill the poblano peppers instead of roasting. Adjust spice levels by adding jalapeños for a kick.
