Notes

  • **I served mine with peas but you could do a big salad & guacamole.
  • *** To char the poblano peppers you can place them on a grill close to the fire until the pepper is charred. You can also place on a cookie sheet and put close to the broiler. Broil for 15 minutes or so, flipping to all sides, until charred. You can also use your stove top to char, if you have a gas stove top, by placing each pepper in the fire until charred.
