Method
 

Roast the Peppers
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°
  2. Cut the poblano peppers in half and remove the ribs and seeds. Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 20 minutes until just tender.
Make the Filling
  1. Heat a skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Add 2 tbsp oil and sauté the onions and mushrooms for 5-7 min stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté another minute or two. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mushrooms and onions and set aside.
  2. In a blender, puree 1/2 of the mushroom and onion mixture with 1 cup of the black beans.
  3. Returning to the skillet, add the pureed mushroom mixture, the rest of the black beans, spices and stir until combined.
Stuff the Peppers and Bake
  1. Evenly spoon the filling into each poblano half. Pour over the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  2. Garnish with a lime crema, cilantro and avocado.
Lime Crema
  1. Combine all ingredients for the lime crema in a small bowl and whisk until cohesive.
