We're pros at the stuffed pepper game: a pepper roasted to near-tenderness, a flavorful filling, and lots of toppings: crispies, cheese, sauce, etc… We've upped our game here, with a tinga-inspired filling and a cilantro cream sauce, too (plus tortillas for textural contrast). The stuffed pepper game is the best game, and this dinner is the result.
