How to Make Poblano Rellenos Appetizer Or Just For 1 Meal

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Lightly spray a broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Roast poblano peppers under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is lightly blackened and blistered (about 8-10 minutes). Watch closely to prevent burning!
  4. Immediately place the peppers in a paper bag and seal tightly.
  5. Let the peppers steam and cool in the bag for 15 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
  6. While the peppers are cooling, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the pan. Roughly mash about 1/4 of the beans with a fork for a thicker consistency.
  8. Cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
  9. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin from the poblano peppers.
  10. Gently remove the stems and slice each pepper lengthwise, then carefully remove the seeds.
  11. Fill each poblano pepper with the black bean and bell pepper mixture. Don't overstuff!
  12. Place the stuffed peppers on the prepared broiler pan.
  13. Sprinkle each pepper with grated Parmesan cheese.
  14. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
