These Ground Beef Stuffed Poblano Peppers are a flavour packed meal that the whole family will love! The poblano peppers are stuffed with a delicious mix of ground beef, cauliflower rice, jalapenos, garlic and lots of spices and then roasted until tender and drizzled in a refreshing cilantro sauce
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and place the poblano peppers into a baking dish big enough to fit them snugly. Bake the peppers in the oven for 15 minutes while you make the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Once hot add in the diced jalapeno, onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes before adding in the ground beef and breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon. Leave the meat to cook for approximately 6 minutes until it's cooked through and no longer pink.
Add the cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and tomato paste and stir to ensure the meat is all well coated. Next add in the beef stock and cauliflower rice and leave to simmer for 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften.
Stir the black beans (if using) and cilantro into the meat mixture.
Cut a slit lengthwise down each of the poblano peppers. Use your fingers to remove the seeds from the inside of each pepper. Spoon the filling mixture into each of the poblano peppers. Arrange the filled poblano peppers in the baking dish opening side facing up and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
While the peppers are cooking make the green sauce. In a blender or nutribullet combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, scallions and cilantro and blend until smooth. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
Once the peppers are done cooking serve them with the green sauce drizzled overtop and any other toppings of choice.
