We really enjoyed these. I added some chopped jalapeños and did up the seasonings and used beef broth. Loved the pickled red onions on top (found a jar at the grocery store). It’s nice to go meatless!

These were pretty good. I did up the spices & used my homemade vegetable stock in place of the water.

Tweaks

This mixture makes amazing stuffed poblanos. Just add some enchilada sauce on the bottom of baking dish and some over the top. Bake about 30 to 45 minutes to heat through and the poblanos soften. Cover with foil if necessary.
