To Make the Sauce
- In a blender, add all the ingredients listed under the sauce and puree them. If you prefer spicier sauce, leave the seeds and ribs of the jalapeno intact. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds and the ribs from the jalapeno and then add it to the blender. Pour the sauce in to a 9 x 13 baking dish.
To Make the Mexican Rice
- Prepare the Mexican rice recipe or make any of your favorite packaged Mexican flavored rice and keep it ready.

- Clean the poblano peppers and cut each of them vertically into 2. Remove the seeds and the ribs carefully. Repeat this with all the peppers.
- Get the rice, beans and cheese all ready to be stuffed.
- Working with one piece of pepper at a time, spread a layer of beans. Then top it off with rice. Make sure that the peppers are stuffed well without much empty space.
- Place the stuffed peppers onto the baking dish that is layered with the sauce.
- Once the peppers are all stuffed and placed in the pan, spread the cheese over the peppers.
- Wrap the baking pan with aluminum foil wrap and place it in the oven.
- Bake at 425 F for about 45 mins or until the peppers are soft and tender.
- Now open the aluminum foil and cook for some more time until the sauce thickens up and the cheese is browned on top.
- Let it sit for few minutes before serving.
