Are Poblano Peppers Spicy?
No. They have 1,500-4,000 Scoville Heat Units, which isn’t very high on the scale. Their heat level is higher than a green bell pepper but around that of a mild jalapeño. It’s also milder than a serrano. There are exceptions to the rule and some poblanos can be slightly spicy, but for the most part, they’re very mild and everyone can enjoy them.
Roast the poblanos
Preheat the oven. Arrange the poblanos on a baking sheet with the cut-side facing upwards. Roast them for 12-15 minutes.
Make the filling
Mix the chicken, beans, rice, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bow.
Stuff and roast
Fill each poblano with filling. Bake them for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until melty. Remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool.
Make the avocado crema
Process all of the crema ingredients in the blender until smooth.
Serve and Enjoy!
Drizzle the poblanos with avocado crema. Garnish with cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
