Ingredients for 5 servings:
- 24oz lean ground bison, turkey, or beef
- 5 to 6 poblano or bell peppers
- 1 1/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella
- 3/4 cup no salt added black beans
- 3/4 cup golden corn
- 1/2 cup no salt tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup chipotle peppers in adobo
- 1/3 cup chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (optional)
Directions:
- Set oven to 400F.
- Skim the top off a pepper, carve out the inside using a knife or “grapefruit spoon,” and remove the stem and seeds. Repeat for the remaining peppers.
- Chop the canned chipotle peppers into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix together bison, black beans, corn, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, cumin and green onion.
- Evenly divide and stuff the meat mixture into the poblano peppers.
- Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for the peppers for 30 minutes in the oven. Once the peppers have finished baking, remove the foil, and if desired, top each pepper with about 1/4 cup mozzarella, then place the foil back on top and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes to melt the cheese.
