AIYIYIYIYIYI!!!

In my next life, I'm going to be Mexican. Unless, of course, I am Indian. Or Italian. But today, I feel muy caliente. After a trip to my local Mexican grocery, I had makings for a couple different meals. But I wanted a feast! And thus, the ceviche-stuffed peppers were born. Although since they end up being cooked, they aren't really ceviches, the flavors are marvelous.

4 poblano peppers
1/2 lb small to medium peeled shrimp
1/4 finely chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 chopped roma tomato
1 tb cilantro (unless you are not a fan! which i understand.)
3-4 limes
1 cup grated white cheese (monterey, pepper jack, queso fresco, whatevs.)

mix shrimp, onion, garlic, tomato, and cilantro. squeeze limes over them and mix. let it set up while you blacken the peppers over your stove burners. this may take a few minutes. wrap them up in paper towels to cool. then rub/peel the skin off. this is messy. then cut a slit in each pepper, and clean them out. stuff them with a mix of ceviche and cheese. bake at 350 for 15-20, or whenever the cheese gets melty.

cheers!
