Ingredients

  • 4 poblano peppers slit down the length of one side and seeded (wearing rubber gloves is recommended)
  • 1 cup sweet potato diced small
  • 1 cup red onion chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets broken into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack Cheese

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.

  • Scatter all of the veggies on a sheet pan and drizzle with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
  • Toss everything a few times to coat with the oil and spices.
  • Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 10-12 minutes, turning the veggies a few times so they brown on all sides.
  • Remove from heat and place into a large bowl.
  • Add the rice and black beans to the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle with the cumin, oregano and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
  • Add 1 cup of the cheese to the mixture and combine thoroughly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Lay the peppers in a baking dish.
  • Spoon the veggie mixture into the peppers and then top with the remaining cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the peppers heated through.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole.
