Ingredients

• 4 whole Poblano peppers
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 whole Flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole (for juice) Lime
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven or broiler. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered (about 6-8 minutes).

Step 2

Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and place them in a zip-top bag or cover them with a towel for 5-10 minutes. This will help loosen the skins.

Step 3

Peel the charred skins off the poblano peppers. Slice each pepper along one side (lengthwise) and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the black beans, ground cumin, and paprika to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.

Step 6

Stuff each poblano pepper with a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Be sure to leave some cheese aside for topping the wraps later.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place a stuffed poblano pepper in the center of each tortilla, then fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.

Step 8

Place the wraps seam-side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of the wraps.

Step 9

Bake the wraps in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the wraps are warmed through.

Step 10

Serve the Ole Chile Relleno Wraps hot, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
