A note about serious food allergies

A stuffed pepper is a great cheat if you catch our drift. How so? You can focus all your diet energy on the outside; the fresh vegetable, the healthy thing that's good for you and your doctor keeps telling you to eat more of. But on the inside, there's meaty ground pork mixed with spices, topped with a mix of creamy guacamole and sour cream. Wait, hold on a second…. We're getting word that the entire meal is healthy, and in fact, calorie and carb-conscious. Amazing! Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as pork in Step 3, breaking up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using diced chicken, follow same instructions as pork in Step 3 ,stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into 1” pieces. Follow same instructions as above.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and mince shallot.

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

  2. 2

    Roast the Peppers

    Place peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Spray each pepper with cooking spray, then flip peppers cut-side-up.

    Roast in hot oven until peppers are tender, 18-20 minutes.

    Don't worry if peppers char a bit, this adds flavor to the dish.

    While peppers roast, make filling.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tsp. olive oil. Add pork to hot pan and break up until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Add shallot, garlic salt, and seasoning blend. Stir often until shallot softens, 1-2 minutes.

    Add corn and tomatoes. Stir occasionally until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While filling cooks, make avocado crema.

  4. 4

    Make the Avocado Crema

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream and guacamole. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Fill Peppers and Finish Dish

    Carefully, divide filling evenly between peppers.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing peppers with queso fresco (crumbling with your hands if needed) and avocado crema. Bon appétit!
