Use reduced fat and reduced sodium ingredients to make this as healthy as possible. You can also add chicken to change this from a vegetarian to a carnivore dish. Ingredients:
4 medium poblano chiles, halved and seeded (you can also use jalapenos) |
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans |
1 (8 7/8 ounce) envelope microwaveable cooked long-grain rice (such as uncle ben's original ready rice) |
1/2 cup picante sauce |
1 cup reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, shredded |
chopped fresh cilantro (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place chile halves, cut sides up, on a round microwave-safe plate.
2. Cover with wax paper; microwave at HIGH 3 minutes.
3. While chiles cook, combine beans, rice, and picante sauce in a medium bowl, stirring well. (This is where you would add the chicken if using).
4. Spoon bean mixture evenly into chile halves.
5. Cover with wax paper; microwave at HIGH 2 minutes.
6. Uncover chiles, sprinkle each half with 2 tablespoons cheese, and microwave at HIGH 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
7. Sprinkle evenly with cilantro, if desired.
