Being from the great state of Texas, there’s no better place to get some amazing Mexican food and Tex Mex. Enchiladas, tacos, you name it, we’ve got them any way you can dream up! A meal that I love ordering at my favorite Mexican food restaurant here in town is the stuffed poblano peppers. They have a mild heat to them and are filled with ground beef, rice, corn, beans, and cheese. Yum!
I decided to make these guys at home one night and I’m sharing the recipe with you now! They’re perfectly portioned, so they’re great for dinner parties and Cinco de Mayo parties and every occasion in between. Want the recipe? Here it is!
