A note about serious food allergies

We love a good side of rice and beans, but you know what we love more? Stuffing Spanish rice and black beans into a roasted poblano, then topping it with melty cheese. Tomato salsa and sour cream on top just add to the things we love about this dish. Do you know what else we love? Our customers and that's why we've given this meal to you. (Too creepy?)

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, seasoning blend, enchilada sauce, and 1 cup water to a boil.

    Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 14-17 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

    Halve and juice lime.

    Drain black beans in a wire-mesh strainer and rinse

    Stem poblano peppers, seed, and halve lengthwise. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  3. 3

    Roast the Peppers

    Place poblano peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut side down. Spray with cooking spray.

    Roast in hot oven until peppers are tender, but not completely cooked, 10-12 minutes. Don't worry if peppers char a bit; this adds flavor to the dish.

  4. 4

    Fill the Peppers

    In a mixing bowl, combine rice, 2/3 the cheese (reserve remaining for topping), beans, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. lime juice (reserve remaining for pico de gallo).

    Carefully, flip peppers cut-side up and fill halves evenly with rice-beans mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

    Roast in hot oven until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes.

    While peppers roast, make pico de gallo.

  5. 5

    Make Pico de Gallo and Finish Dish

    In another mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, 1 Tbsp. remaining lime juice, 1 tsp. olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with pico de gallo and sour cream. Bon appétit!
