**Mexican Stuffed Cheese**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 large poblano peppers
– 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 cup cooked rice
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels
– 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Salsa and sour cream (for serving)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven broiler. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes per side, or until the skins are charred and blistered. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a zip-top bag to steam for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, rice, black beans, corn, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Once the peppers have steamed, carefully peel off the charred skin. Make a slit lengthwise down each pepper and remove the seeds. Be gentle to keep the peppers intact.
4. Stuff each pepper with the chicken and rice mixture, packing it in tightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the stuffed peppers.
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
8. Garnish the Mexican Stuffed Cheese with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.
