Cheesy Poblano Rice Bake

Instructions:

1. Roast the Poblano Peppers:

• Preheat the broiler in your oven. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered, about 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.

2. Prepare the Rice:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions. Mix well to combine.

3. Make the Sauce:

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is golden brown and bubbly.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

4. Assemble the Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Peel the charred skins off the roasted poblano peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them into small pieces.
• Fold the chopped poblano peppers into the rice mixture, then pour the prepared sauce over the top. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

5. Bake:

• Transfer the cheesy poblano rice mixture to a greased baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve:

• Once baked, remove the Cheesy Poblano Rice Bake from the oven.
• Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired.
• Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible cheesy goodness!
