Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rinse the poblano chilies and pat them dry. Slice off the tops and carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
Mix in the tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Stir until evenly mixed.
Stuff each poblano chili with the beef and cheese mixture, pressing gently to fill them completely.
Place the stuffed chilies on the preheated grill. Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chilies are slightly charred and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the chilies from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
