Poblano peppers are just a mild chili that goes great with any type of Mexican or Southwest cooking. It makes a wonderful vegetarian side dish to accompany my chipotle chicken with mango avocado salsa...yum!! If you are a vegetarian or participate in meatless Mondays, this dish is great as a meal. The prep is quick & easy, so you can prep earlier in the week and just bake it off when you want. It last for about 3 days prepped in the fridge. So, all you have to do is after putting cheese on the top, cover and store in fridge for later in the week. This is a great vegetarian dish that packs in the protein! Enjoy & Happy Eating! 🙂
