  • Add diced veggies to same pan and saute until tender. Add spices, scallions & cilantro.
  • Add corn and browned sausage back to the veggie pan. Then add cream cheese and shredded pepper-jack cheese. Stir to combine all stuffing ingredients and adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
  • Cut slits the length of the face of each poblano. Gently remove seeds. Fill with stuffing. Top with shredded pepper-jack cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until browned and bubbly.
