Ingredients
4 oz Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon
½ cup Long Grain White Rice
2 each Poblano Pepper
4 oz Grape Tomatoes
1 each Lime
1 each Red Onion
2 oz Shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese Blend
¼ cup Sour Cream
½ tbsp Smoky Spice Blend (Smoked Paprika, Sweet Paprika, Ground Yellow Mustard, Garlic Powder & Onion Powder)
How to make it
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rinse and drain the rice. Combine with the spice blend, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook undisturbed 13-15 minutes until absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2
Rinse and dry all produce. Place the peppers on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil, season, and turn to coat. Roast 12-14 minutes until browned and blistered. Remove from the oven (leave oven on). Cool 5 minutes.
3
Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion(s). Halve the tomatoes. Quarter the limes. Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and the juice of 2 lime wedges (4 wedges for 4 servings); season.
4
Add the bacon to a nonstick pan over medium-high. Cook stirring occasionally 4-6 minutes until cooked through and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 2 teaspoons bacon fat (4 tsp for 4 servings). Drain off remaining fat.
5
Heat the reserved bacon fat over medium-high. Add the diced onion(s). Cook stirring occasionally 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes. Cook stirring occasionally 2-3 minutes until softened. Transfer to the pot of rice. Add the cooked bacon and stir thoroughly. Taste and season.
6
When cool enough to handle, cut a lengthwise slit in each pepper keeping one side intact. Carefully open each and remove ribs and seeds with a spoon. Wash hands immediately after. Stuff with the filling, then top with the cheddar and Monterey Jack. Roast 5-7 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted. Let stand 2 minutes. Divide the remaining filling between serving dishes; top with the stuffed peppers. Garnish with the lime sour cream. Offer the remaining lime wedges on the side.
