This traditional Mexican dish is from the area of Puebla. Poblano chiles are stuffed with a flavorful ground pork stuffing, then covered in a creamy walnut sauce and garnished with pomegranate seeds and parsley. The long list of ingredients is deceiving - this make ahead dish is quite easy once you have all your ingredients!

Poblano Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Rating: 4.14 stars

I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

Chicken with Tomatillos and Poblanos

Rating: 4.3 stars

A spicy chicken dish with a tomatillo sauce, best served over rice and accompanied with beans (black, red, or pinto are probably best). To increase the heat of the dish, you can always add more chiles - perhaps a serrano pepper.

This recipe allows you to taste what poblano brings to the table. Most poblano recipes use the pepper as a container. This showcases the pepper and it's incredible stand-alone flavor. Great with fish!

Fire-Roasted Poblano Salsa

Roasting the veggies over an open fire brings a nice smoky flavor to this quick salsa. Excellent with tortilla chips or served over fish tacos. Can easily be adjusted to be mild or spicy by leaving in or removing the jalapeno seeds.

Delicious and easy! Poblanos seemed like a logical choice for kicking stuffed peppers up a notch. We were amazed by how well these turned out. Give them a try! Recipe could easily be doubled or tripled as needed.

Peach-Stuffed Pork Chops

Rating: 4.94 stars
9
I'm gonna show you my favorite technique for stuffing pork chops, as well as one of my favorite stuffings for pork. Above and beyond producing something that's visually impressive, we are also flavoring our pork chops from the inside out with this method. So, this is basically a technique video and will work no matter what stuffing you decide to use--although this peach stuffing was absolutely delicious.

Poblano and Cheese Tamales (Tamales de Rajas con Queso)

Rating: 4.83 stars
5
This authentic Mexican recipe for homemade tamales is straight from Mexico. Tamales are stuffed with a spicy tomatillo sauce with poblano chiles and cheese - delicious! In Mexico, Chihuahua or Oaxaca cheese is used, but those cheeses are hard to find here, so you can substitute with Monterey Jack. [Originally submitted to Allrecipes.com.mx]

Chef John's Hamburger Hash

Move over corned beef, because there's a new hash in town! If you like hash, you are going to love this version made with ground beef instead of corned. Making a hash is basically a 3-step process: frying your meat and potatoes, adding onions and mushrooms, and then adding quick-cooking vegetables like peppers. But take a look in the fridge and use any ingredients you'd like because in the game of hash, whoever has the most ingredients wins! Top with a cayenne-dusted poached egg and green onions if you'd like.

Smoky Poblano Corn Pudding

Rating: 4.58 stars

In our family, a warm bowl of corn is always on our Thanksgiving table. My mom dumps a few bags of frozen corn into boiling water while the turkey rests and the potatoes get mashed. She'll then inevitably forget about the now water-logged corn until we are sitting at the table ready to eat. And still a Thanksgiving table without corn is not complete in my mind. This dish transforms frozen corn into a decadent and richly flavored dish with just a bit more work than setting a pot of water to boil.

Instant Pot® Brisket Barbacoa with Poblano Peppers and Onions

Mexican-inspired barbacoa using beef brisket in the Instant Pot® is so tender and delicious. Use the meat for tacos or a burrito bowl and top with sautéed poblano pepper and onion along with your favorite toppings to complete the meal. This recipe is a great for make ahead/meal prep too. Serving options: corn tortillas, warmed; or your favorite Mexican rice, or cilantro-lime rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, limes, salsa, sliced and diced avocado, and queso fresco.

Chile Relleno Pancakes

This tasted and felt just like a chile relleno, which isn't surprising, as we used the same ingredients. Not only did it taste the same, but I think it's easier to eat, since we don't have to worry about eating around the seedpod and stem. If you love chile rellenos as much as I do, you'll love these pancakes.

Peppercorn Pork Chops with Warm Pickled Pepper Relish

If you are a lover of pepper in all its forms, you really must experience this dish. With 4 kinds of peppercorns producing a fairly spicy crust, these tender, moist chops topped with a sweet and sour pickled pepper sauce are perhaps the most flavorful you will ever enjoy in your life. Serve with scalloped potatoes, if desired.
