- 1 (12 oz.) package of plant-based sausage, or (12 oz) of minced cremini mushrooms
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 (15oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 roasted red pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 (4 oz.) can of diced green chilies

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease, or line, a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange halved poblano peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When ready, add oil and when oil is shimmering, add the sausage or mushrooms, onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté until sausage is cooked through, use a spoon or spatula to break up sausage as it cooks.
- Add the spices and grain of choice to the pan, and stir well. Next, add red peppers and green chilies, mix well. Finally, add the black beans and corn, stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until sauce has reduced a bit. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Spoon mixture into the peppers, drizzle with queso, and return to oven for another 10-15 minutes or until peppers are tender and cheese is melted. Allow peppers to cool slightly before serving. Serve with minced cilantro and salsa.
