Ingredients
Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean, 16 oz 3 Chipotle Peppers and 3 Tbsp Adobo Sauce (*This is REALLY spicy)Onions, raw, .5 medium (2-1/2" dia) Garlic, 3 cloves Pepper, Poblano 1 Pepper, 4 serving 365 Organic Pinto Beans, 1 cup 1 tbsp Tomato PasteColby and Monterey Jack Cheese shredded, .5 cup
Directions
Slice each poblano pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.

Broil peppers for 3-5 minutes skin sin up, then flip to the fleshy side of the peppers and broil another 3-5 minutes.

In a nonstick pan, cook the turkey until it renders some of its fat, breaking it up. Remove the partically-cooked turkey, and cook the onions and garlic until translucent but not brown. Add chipotle and adobo and put the turkey back in the pan. Drain and rinse the pinto beans and add to the pan. Cook until the turkey is browned.

Spoon the filling into each half. Top with 1 tbsp cheese and broil until the cheese is melted. Serve with toppings of your choice (I like avocado and/or low fat greek yogurt to counter the heat).

Serving Size: 4 servings (2 pepper halves each)
