So maybe your stuffed pepper experience is limited to a few microwave meals or jalapeño poppers at your local wing place. No time like the present to expand your packed pepper preferences. These poblanos are stuffed with seasoned pork and corn and topped with cheese and cilantro. Delicious and easy-to-make, you'll be calling yourself a stuffed pepper connoisseur after cleaning your plate. Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!
