These Veggie Stuffed Poblano Peppers are filled with brown rice, black beans & veggies that are cooked down in enchilada sauce!
Stuffed poblano peppers are a great weeknight dinner or make ahead lunch! The peppers are roasted until charred, peeled and stuffed with a tasty filling – brown rice, beans, veggies, enchilada sauce & vegan cream cheese. The peppers are baked until bubbly and served with vegan sour cream, avocado, cilantro & salsa!
How to Roast Poblanos
To make the poblanos, cut a slit lengthwise down each pepper and brush with oil. Place on a baking sheet and broil until both sides are charred – about 3-5 minutes per side.
Remove the poblanos from the oven and place in a bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and steam for 10 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off of each pepper and carefully remove the seeds – I like to do this by running the pepper under water.
How to Make the Filling
While the peppers are steaming, make the filling. Heat some oil in a skillet and add onion, jalapeño and dry seasonings. Let this cook down for a couple of minutes before adding a can of black beans and corn.
After everything has cooked for a couple more minutes, add the cooked brown rice, enchilada sauce & vegan cream cheese. Give everything a stir and remove it from the heat.
Add the leftover enchilada sauce to the bottom of a baking dish and stuff each pepper with the filling. Place the peppers in the baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. They should be hot and bubbly!
How to Serve Veggie Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Pull the peppers out of the oven and drizzle with vegan sour cream & cilantro. Plate the peppers with avocado, salsa & lime wedges. And be sure to scoop up some of that enchilada sauce from the bottom of the baking dish.
If making these for meal prep, let the peppers cool completely before putting them in individual containers and placing them in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or oven and serve with the optional toppings.

Notes
Forgot to add the stars!
This was our second time making these because we loved them so much last time. We didn’t use rice but we did use Impossible Meat this time! As delicious as we remembered them to be!
So glad you liked them! Love the idea of using Impossible Meat!
Great recipe! I bought some poblanos and didn’t know what to do with them. I have every other ingredient from this recipe already on hand. It’s very simple to make and packs a ton of flavor! Bonus points for being a great healthy dish. I topped mine with some melted shredded cheddar, Greek yogurt and some cilantro. My meat loving boyfriend even enjoyed them for dinner!
