1 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.
Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. 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 Cook the Pork and Vegetables
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, pork, poblano, white portions of green onions, and 1/2 tsp. salt to hot pan.
Break up mixture until poblanos are tender, no pink remains on pork, and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes. -
3 Make the Sauce
Add flour to pan and stir until no dry flour remains.
Add 13/4 cups water, softened cream cheese, corn, chile and cumin rub, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a simmer.Once simmering, stir often until cream cheese is melted and mixture has slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes. -
4 Add the Pasta and Cheese
Add pasta, half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), and 1/4 tsp. salt to pan and stir until cheese has melted and sauce coats pasta.
Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes. -
5 Finish the Dish
Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing pasta with tortilla strips, remaining shredded cheese, and green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
