Ingredients:

• 4 large poblano peppers


• 1 cup cooked quinoa


• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed


• 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen


• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or dairy-free alternative


• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes


• 1/2 cup diced red onion


• 2 cloves garlic, minced


• 1 teaspoon ground cumin


• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder


• Salt and pepper to taste


• Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375F 190C

Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered

Remove the peppers from the oven and carefully place them in a zip-top bag

Seal the bag and let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes

This will make it easier to peel the skins off

While the peppers are steaming, prepare the filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper

Mix everything together

Once the peppers have steamed, carefully peel off the charred skins

Cut a slit lengthwise down each pepper and remove the seeds and membranes, leaving the peppers intact

Stuff each pepper with the quinoa and vegetable mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in

Place the stuffed peppers back on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top

Serve the baked quinoa Chile Rellenos hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative, if desired
