Ingredients

  • 3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 large onion, chopped, divided
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
  • ½ lime, zested and juiced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup frozen roasted corn (such as Trader Joe's®), thawed
  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Directions

Step 1
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers, cut sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 2
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 6 minutes. Wrap peppers in the aluminum foil from the baking sheet. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard skins and seeds. Chop into bite-size pieces.

Step 3
Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 4
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in ground pork, chicken broth, rice, 1/2 the onion, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a boil.

Step 5
Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 6
Combine the remaining onion, tomatoes, lime zest, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon cilantro in a small bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper.

Step 7
Stir the roasted poblano peppers, remaining cilantro, and corn into the baked pork-rice dish. Sprinkle cheese blend on top; let stand until melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the salsa on top.
