Ingredients
4 poblano peppers, halved, seeds and membranes removed
1 pound 93% lean ground beef
1 cup white rice, cooked
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup canned black beans, drained

1-15 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes, drained
1-4 ounce can diced green chiles

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking sheet. Arrange the poblano peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until they are slightly tender. Set aside.
- Add the ground beef and rice to a large skillet and add the cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Sauté over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the black beans, corn, tomatoes and green chiles. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spoon the filling into the peppers, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with other preferred toppings such as cilantro, avocado, sour cream or salsa.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months and reheated in the microwave for 2 minutes or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
