Vegetarian Stuffed Poblano with Chipotle Cheese Mayonnaise Dressing.
Poblano peppers stuffed with sweet potato, black beans and zucchini with mayonnaise Hellmann’s® / Best Foods® dressing.

Poblano peppers are large dark green peppers and they are usually mild in spice. They are very versatile, and you can use all different kinds of stuffing with these poblanos. After roasting and peeling them, you can serve them as strips or toppings, they are delicious.

For this recipe, let’s stuff the poblanos with ingredients that are easy to find. The sweet potato and zucchini will help provide a sweet flavor combined with the earthy flavor of black beans.

Poblano Peppers

Have you ever roasted poblano peppers before? No worries, it’s not as hard as it seems.

The main decision is how to roast them, and the rest is easy. I roast mine directly over a gas stove and I stay at the stove to turn the poblanos and make sure I don’t burn them.

You can also roast them in a hot pan, on the grill, or in a hot oven at 400 degrees until they are a medium golden-brown color and not too blackened.

Before roasting them massage oil on them. Once the poblanos are roasted on all sides, transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic or inside a plastic bag. Let it sweat and cool down for about 10 minutes.

Peeling peppers.

Peeling the poblanos will take some time. Make a cut on the side to open it and take off the seeds. Before you proceed, make sure you wear gloves because removing the seeds and veins inside the poblanos can burn your fingers.

Try not to clean the poblanos under running water because you will lose a lot of the smoky flavor. If needed squeeze lime juice inside the poblano, this way you don’t lose its flavor. You got this! The next step is to prepare the chipotle mayonnaise dressing. 

For the dressing, I like to use Hellmann’s®/Best Foods® Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing because of its rich and creamy taste and quality oils that help enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes.

It’s also made with quality ingredients such as 100% cage-free eggs. Blend Hellmann’s®/Best Foods® Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing with one or two chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cheese, and lime juice. If the dressing is too thick, add more lime juice and if you like it spicy, add more adobo sauce or more chipotle peppers.

After sautéing sweet potato, black beans, and zucchini in a skillet, stir half of the chipotle mayonnaise dressing into the vegetables and stuff your poblanos with the mixture. Place stuffed poblanos on a lightly greased baking pan and add more dressing on top.

The traditional Chile Rellenos are fried with an egg batter, but I prefer to skip this step and just bake them in the oven. Serve the vegetarian stuffed poblano peppers with whole grains such as quinoa for a fall night.

Vegetarian and Mexican for a fall night. Made with Hellmann’s®/Best Foods® Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing.
Total Time1 hr 10 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 434kcal
Author: Malena

Ingredients

  • 4 large fresh poblano peppers, roasted, peeled & rinsed
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 can (15oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small zucchini, rinsed and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. chopped cilantro, for garnish

For the dressing: makes 1 cup

  • 1/2 cup Hellmann’s®/Best Foods® Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing
  • 2 tbsp. chipotle peppers with adobo sauce (small can)
  • 3 limes, divided for juice and for serving
  • 1 cup queso enchilada, mozzarella, fresco or Oaxaca, shredded or crumbled (about 5 ounces)

Instructions

  • Rinse poblanos and massage oil over their skin. Roast poblano peppers over a gas flame, grill, or hot pan. Char the skin to a medium golden-brown color but not too blackened. When they get too black, it is hard to peel them. Place charred peppers in a large bowl and cover with a plastic wrap or inside a plastic bag. Let it sweat and cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Peel the charred skin of each pepper. Place pepper on a cutting board and make a small slit lengthwise on the side of the peppers. Wear gloves to remove seeds and veins inside the peppers. Keep the stem and tip.
  • To make the chipotle mayonnaise dressing, mix chipotle peppers, juice of two limes, and Hellmann’s®/Best Foods® Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing until well combined. You can mix everything in a blender or food processor or just mix well. Taste and adjust flavor and if you need it less spicy or mixture is too thick, add more lime juice. If it needs to be more spicy, add more juice of chipotle peppers. Transfer to a bowl, add cheese and stir. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a skillet, heat oil and cook sweet potatoes on medium-high for about 2-3 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add black beans and zucchini. Lower heat to medium, season with salt. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sweet potatoes are cooked but they are still firm. Stir half of chipotle mayonnaise dressing into the vegetable mixture and combine. Set vegetable mixture aside.
  • Drizzle oil on a baking pan. Stuff each poblano pepper with vegetable mixture and top with a tablespoon of chipotle mayonnaise dressing as desired. Place stuffed peppers on the baking pan. If you have extra vegetables, place them around the peppers.
  • Bake stuffed peppers at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until peppers are sizzling. Garnish with cilantro and serve with wedges of lime.

Instagram post 2193002779106420520_1346401725 #Ad. This is the time when I start getting lazy with breakfast 🥣 but here is an easy idea to provide a healthy breakfast for you and your children. Prepare overnight quinoa! 🥄 Mix cooked quinoa with yogurt and milk, 🥛 top with a creamy nut butter 🥜 and refrigerate. The next morning add fresh grapes from California🍇 to get ready for the day and give them the energy they need in school. GrapesfromCA are also a great snack to pack in their lunches for mid-morning. 🎒☃️ •
#Anuncio. Este es el momento en que empiezo a ponerme perezosa con el desayuno, 🥣 pero esta es una idea fácil para tener un desayuno saludable para ti y sus hijos. ¡Prepara quinoa la noche anterior! 🥄 Mezcla la quinoa cocida con yogurt y leche, 🥛 añade una cucharada de mantequilla o crema de nuez cremosa 🥜 y refrigera. En la mañana siguiente, agrega uvas frescas de California🍇 mientras se alistan para el día y darles la energía que necesitan en la escuela. Las uvas de California también son un gran bocadillo para empacar en sus almuerzos para la media mañana. 🎒☃️ #

Instagram post 2191663124448558452_1346401725 @9newsdenver time! This nutrition topic was perfect to show the nutritional benefits of sourdough bread. 🥖 It is nutritious with only 3 ingredients: flour, water & salt. That’s it. 👩🏽‍🔬
Now I know not everyone will have a culture starter and feed it weekly to keep it alive to make this bread but it doesn’t hurt to put it out there. The goal is to motivate people to choose high quality bread. 🍞🥖👨🏽‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳If you need help or tips to make sourdough bread, send me a message. I can ask husband who is the bread master in the house.
Here are the benefits of sourdough bread:
🥖Lower glycemic response after a meal in comparison with other breads.
🍞Low glycemic index (GI) food. The complex carbohydrates are broken down by the bacteria during fermentation.
👏🏾Easier to digest.
😋Fermentation releases nutrients.
✅ Low on phytic acid (nutrient that competes with other key nutrients in your gut).
❤️Good source of fiber.
🥣 Prebiotic food.

Hora de las noticias 9news. Este tema de nutrición fue perfecto para mostrar los beneficios nutricionales del pan sourdough que es preparado con la cultura viva. 🥖Es nutritivo con solo 3 ingredientes: harina, agua y sal. Eso es todo. 👩🏽‍🔬 Ahora sé que no todos tendrán un iniciador de la cultura y lo alimentarán semanalmente para mantenerlo vivo para hacer este pan, pero no está de más ponerlo allí. La idea es motivar que se seleccione panes de buena calidad. Si quieres que te ayude con consejos para prepararlo, me escribes una nota.
Estas son las razones porqué el pan de masa fermentada es saludable:
🥖La respuesta de la absorción del valor glucémico es menor después de una comida con este pan sourdough en comparación con otros panes. Esto es bueno para el control de la glucosa.
🍞Alimento de bajo índice glucémico (GI). Los carbohidratos complejos son descompuestos por las bacterias durante la fermentación.
👏🏾Más fácil de digerir.
😋La fermentación libera nutrientes importantes.
✅ Bajo en ácido fítico (nutriente que compite con otros nutrientes importantes en la digestión).
❤️Buena fuente de fibra.
🥣 Comida prebiótica.

🍵Are you a tea drinker? I am happy to share the latest research about tea! Did you know that daily drinkers of unsweetened tea generally make healthier beverage choices and have better diets?
🥣 The diets of tea drinkers are rich in nutrients with more protein, fiber, potassium, iron and magnesium as well as less added sugars.
😊In comparison to those who do not consume tea, drinking unsweetened tea daily is associated with higher good cholesterol (HDL) and lower body weight among adults.
✍🏽This research was published in the Journal of Nutrients, by Florent Vieux, Matthieu Maillot, Colin D. Rehm and Adam Drewnowski. 🥁Now there are more reasons to sip tea so start today with a cup of unsweetened tea! •

🥣Sabes que los que beben té a diario sin azúcar, generalmente eligen bebidas más saludables y tienen mejores dietas?
🍽Las dietas de los bebedores de té son ricas en nutrientes con más proteínas, fibra, potasio, hierro y magnesio, así como menos azúcares añadidos.
😊En comparación con aquellos que no consumen té, beber té sin azúcar a diario se asocia con un alto colesterol del bueno (el HDL) y menos peso entre los adultos.

Instagram post 2184391162076614724_1346401725 Chile Poblanos. My friend Martin from México 🇲🇽 who I love was the one who taught me many tricks about Mexican food. 🙋🏽‍♀️ I have a question for my Mexican friends. After you roast the chiles, peel them and take out the seeds, do you rinse or not? I was taught not to rinse, I just carefully flip the stem, to sculpt the inside with a knife or spoon. 🥄 But to tell you the truth, I have also rinsed some chiles on some occasions. 😂 These chiles will be made into chile rellenos. 💃🏻

Chile Poblanos. Mi amigo Martín de México 🇲🇽 que adoro fue el que me enseño varios trucos de la comida mexicana. 🙋🏽‍♀️Tengo una pregunta para mis amigos de México. Después que asas los chiles, los pelas y le quitas las semillas, los limpias con agua o no? A mi me enseñaron a que nunca los lave, solo cuidadosamente dale la vuelta y con un cuchillo o cuchara corta la parte de la semillas. 🥄 Para ser sincera, han habido ocasiones que si he tenido que lavarlos. 😂Estos chiles son para hacer unos chiles rellenos. 💃🏻
