Stuffed Pasilla Peppers
- 2 whole Pasilla Peppers (the Store Didn't Have Poblanos, But They Would Work Just Fine If You Can Find Them)
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1/2 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1- 1/2 cup Frozen Corn Kernels, Defrosted
- 1 can Black Beans, Rinsed, Drained.
- 1 can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, Drained Well
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo (from A Can), Minced
- 1/4 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (I Used Bagged Mexican Mix, But You Can Use Jack Or Cheddar Or Whatever Floats Your Boat)
- 1 cup Enchilada Sauce (I Used Canned)
- Salt and Pepper
- Preheat the broiler.
- Wash the peppers and put them (intact) on a baking sheet & pop them under the broiler.
- Broil for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice to ensure even charring.
- You want them blistered and blackened just a little bit, but not completely deflated and turned to mush.
- (Leave the broiler on after taking out the peppers.
- Youll need it later.)
- In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and corn.
- Season with salt & pepper, and allow to brown up just a little.
- Then add the black beans, tomatoes and cumin.
- When everything is warmed through, turn off the heat and add the fresh cilantro.
- By this time your peppers should have cooled enough to handle.
- Make a slit from stem to tip (not cutting all the way in half, just slicing the pepper open), and remove the stem and seeds.
- You should have a kind of floppy pepper cup.
- Fill the cup with the corn mixture really load it in there.
- Top each pepper with about 3/4 cup cheese.
- Pop it under the broiler, keeping the door cracked open just a bit so you can keep a close eye on it.
- Dont let the cheese burn!
- You just want it to melt and get golden brown.
- Heat the enchilada sauce in a pan or in the microwave.
- When the peppers are finished, plate them up and spoon about 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce over each one.
