Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large poblano chilies (or bell peppers for a milder option)
• 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
• 150 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 150 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 8

Stuff each poblano chili with the beef and cheese mixture, pressing gently to fill them completely.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove the chilies from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
